Creative Execution

Our disruptive media approach was a first for Nissan and put the channels of communication firmly in the hands of the public who became part of a ‘snowball’ effect. This was always a risk, but confident implementation and seeding, that always remained relevant and engaging was key to the campaign’s success. First we released well-known pop-culture references and films, but changed key moments, sounds and elements to bring to life a ‘Tiida’ moment. This became so popular that the public began to share self-made versions. This inspired us to create an online competition with a toolkit that made it even easier to take part. We then took the two iis of the word “Tiida” and transformed them into to topical subjects as well as other cool references. Now we truly had caught the public’s imagination and the campaign exploded into to life, not only spawning more version of the Tiida iis, but events that included – Art exhibitions, graffiti walls, running events, parties and much more than we can fit into just 150 words…

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

In 2006, The Nissan Tiida was launched for a young target audience. With rebellious imagery and edgy illustrations, the campaign was hip for its time and established Tiida as the youth car. In 2013, we had to launch the next generation Tiida. But our target audience had evolved, from being traditionally passive to socially active. They were tweeting, sharing and creating their own content. And we had to find a platform that would be relevant to them. We didn’t want to force a campaign through traditional mediums. So, by taking the unusual name and its double ii, we created an idea that organically grew through digital and social pop-culture content and took on a life of its own.
