Brief Explanation

Dunlop is a tire brand with a strong racing heritage, beloved by driving enthusiasts around the world.

The Brief

In recent years, Dunlop had kept a somewhat lower profile due to reduced sponsorship activities in motor sports. Our task was to re-ignite the brand with a new campaign that keeps the heritage alive but at the same time manages to speak to a larger audience.

How the final design was conceived

As a part of the strategic groundwork for the campaign, we conducted a series of europe-wide interviews with the core target group of driving enthusiasts. One major finding: the people we are talking are not interested in tires. And a second point: they share a unique attitude towards life. For them, it is all about performance – not just on the racetrack or on the road. We built our campaign based on this insight.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

In post-launch research, the numbers for brand awareness and brand preference had improved significantly within the target group. What's more: the audience genuinely seemed to love the film because we accurately described their way of life.
