Challenge
The Peugeot 208 launches globally from March 2012 and will be one of the brand's biggest launches to date.
Peugeot wanted to create a campaign around the 'Let Your Body Drive' concept with both local and global objectives;
-
Create a live show and event for the Brazilian market for customers, journalists, VIPs
-
Create a piece of viral content that would reach audiences worldwide and drive their increased focus on digital marketing
-
Reach 1m views on Youtube
Solution
We decided to bring Peugeot's 'Let Your Body Drive' positioning to life; literally letting someone 'drive' the Peugeot 208 before it entered production.
By linking projection mapping with motion control technology, we created a stand out event at which a performer could physically control a dynamic projection of the Peugeot 208 with the movements of his body - the physical embodiement of 'Let Your Body Drive'.
From concept to finished show, the seven week project was our ambitious response to Peugeot's brief to create a live event that would generate international engagement and awareness as well as produce a piece of world-class viral content, taking the Peugeot 208 to a global digital audience.
A two-minute film of the spectacular show went live on Youtube on 14th December 2011 and had already reached over 5.3m views by January 2012. This post-event online content allows global audiences to engage with this unique experience that embodies Peugeot's 'Motion and Emotion' brand positioning.
