The Campaign

Branded Entertainment in the car industry in Germany is either very educational (tests, premiers, technology demonstrations) or dominated by event activities (alike motosport, sailing, tennis, golf). But we wanted to win a young (young at heart) target audience that isn’t up for information but for entertainment. People that love comedies or content alike “Top Gear”

Results

The new generation Toyota Aygo has been launched in market across with the provocative claim „Go fun yourself“. So the German client asked Saatchi & Saatchi Düsseldorf to develop attention-grabbing ideas building on this. Our answer has been a concept that actually focuses the car’s attitude instead of it’s features: The Aygo is the car of choice suited to those that don’t take themselves too serious and that know how to have fun. With „Aygo. Pissing around.“ this attitude comes alive in a spectacular and unseen way: A new generation Aygo drives through the streets of the Germany’s capitol Berlin – and gives a statement to anyone, that spoils its (and our) fun: party pooper get peed. For this the Aygo got customized so it can literally „lift a leg“ and pee.
