Results and Effectiveness

The KIA Parking Assistants did their tour in the 5 biggest cities in Belgium, helping 340 drivers avoiding a parking fine. Resulting in 210 test drives. A response of over 60%. The media picked up on the story. And offered us a share of heart on top. That's what the power to surprise does. Kia. The Power to surprise.

Creative Execution

A small paper wrap holds the refreshed parking ticket. It promotes the new KIA Soul. And calls for a test drive in one of the local dealerships.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

These days most of the car brands have some kind of Park Assist. But what these systems don't do is help you with the biggest problem when it comes to parking: The Parking Fines. For the launch of the new and city-friendly KIA Soul with free park assistance, we brought KIA's baseline 'The Power to Surprise' to life. Introducing : the Kia Parking Assistants. Dedicated teams that check cars for parking tickets that are about to expire and then pay for an extra hour, before the meter maids arrive.
