Peugeot Brazil was facing a lack of consideration gain in the country because they stayed a long time out of the really-new-product launch spotlights.
People got used to the same old French Brand and became imune to the efforts to communicate that they were changing and being again the once innovative and stylish manufacture that won Brazilians hearts in the beginning of the 2000’s.
Our challenge was to launch of the new Peugeot 208 In Concert: a special series of the young-driven model which brought inside a sound system 40% more powerful than regular cars and some series badges that made the car even more beautiful.
First we went to were the youngster were: The Facebook®. Than, we brought them what they wanted: Music. And we did it in the way that they were demanding to pay attention: Branded Content, or as I like to call “Real Stories From Real People That Really Interact With The Brand”.
In partnership with Facebook® and Vice® Brazil, we created THE NEXT HIT (A Próxima Parada) campaign in which a real underground music producer from São Paulo travel the country to find really new bands with his Peugeot 208 In Concert.
It’s came out in 6 episodes: three interviews with band members inside the car while their were really going to the studio to record a videoclip and then one videoclip of each band performing one hit of theirs.
The Gran Finale came with the distribution strategy: first we got FB’s audience habits to deliver the series and created a Custom Audience based on the engagement with the content. Then we delivered product ads in the same context, guaranteeing espetacular results.
- 90% of the series sold in the first three weeks of a 2-month campaign.
- 10pp growth in buying intention - top FB Brand Effect result globally.
- 34.5MM views, putting Peugeot in the 1st place of FB BR nr of views.
