Execution

To launch the Chevrolet Sonic in the Middle East, we introduced the car as a brand new energy drink, only to discover it’s a car in the reveal phase. The integrated campaign included teaser TVC, reveal TVC, on-ground promotions, a mobile app and activations at both malls and colleges with these vending machines. Execution 12 vending machines were created and placed at hotspots in malls across the Arab region. From here, they were the main point of sale for the car. How? By attracting people who would press the button and collect their can of Sonic energy. This was then the communication tool for people to find out more about the car and download the sonicarabia mobile app, where they could explore the car in 360, locate their nearest dealer and book a test-drive.
