2013 Winners & Shortlists

Brief Explanation

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, and the experience. The focus from the outset was that the consumer should not only understand this enjoyment, but they should be made to feel it too. Strategy / Relevance: We really wanted the consumer to experience the Toyota 86 for themselves, so we developed the Toyota 86 AR app (for mobile and tablet devices) and a 'Made To Thrill' poster. We combined these elements using augmented reality and were able to put the thrilling experience of the 86 directly in their hands. Whenever someone saw our ‘Made To Thrill’ poster they could activate our Toyota 86 AR app on their mobile or tablet device and a take virtual test-drive of Toyota 86 in the environment they were in. They could also print the poster for themselves and use it in their homes or outdoors. All they had to do was print a poster as big as their imagination. The bigger the poster, the bigger the car, the bigger the experience. Performance: To date (10/01/2013) over 450,000+ people have downloaded and used the Toyota 86 AR app, which means at least 450,000+ people have printed out their own ‘Made To Thrill’ poster. This has so far generated 125,000 combined YouTube views of people using the ‘Made To Thrill’ poster to play the Toyota 86 AR game.
