Creative Execution

Pre-launch: Petrol heads knew the 86 was coming, so we fed their hunger online via a microsite containing exclusive content (prototype video footage and pictures). We also used traditional media to get people excited about driving again. Launch: Smartphone, tablet and Facebook use is on the rise in the region so we engaged our play seeking audience with games on their devices and online. Thrill City – Drive the 86 around your own city on the real streets of Google Maps on your smartphone (Possibly the first game to do this on a smartphone) Passenger 86 – Share the experience and take a friend for a thrilling ride on Facebook Toyota 86 AR - Augmented reality racing for smartphones and tablets (Possibly the first full size augmented reality car you can actually drive on real streets if you print a big enough marker)

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Context Launch the new Toyota 86 to a young adventure seeking market that hadn’t seen or heard of a fun, sporty drive from Toyota since the demise of the Supra and Celica Objective Everything about the Toyota 86 screams of enjoyment - the look, the feel, the experience. The focus from the outset was that the consumer should not only understand this enjoyment, but they should feel it too. This is how the ‘Made to thrill’ concept for the Toyota 86 was conceived.
