Creative Execution
The E-Motion device is installed inside the Mercedes me café in the heart of Moscow.
A camera captures the faces of the guests, and a software analyzes their personality based on their facial expressions, and suggests a unique car model for each one of them.
Guests use interactive terminals to edit the details of the car, locate the nearest dealership and book a test drive right on the spot. In the real time on the biggest interactive screen a live feed shows user generated content with a hashtag #mercedesmecafe to provide our guests an immersive experience.
After the first month: 2.435 people experienced “The E-Motion” device, 328 test drive bookings. Over $100,000 in earned media.
Creative Effectiveness
The idea plays with the individualism of a new generation of consumers in Russia - where people are looking for products that express their personal characteristics, that were suppressed during the soviet period.It is appropriated to the brand because it shows, in a clear and entertaining way, that Mercedes has a car for every different kind of people. Also, because of its technological approach, the idea links the brand with innovation, that helps to overcome the old image of Mercedes in Russian market - once perceived as boring and conservative brand for old people.
