Brief Explanation
Our challenge is to strengthen the relevance of quattro as the best All-Wheel-Drive technology to increase liking and preference for the overall Audi brand.
Audi loves snow – when others complain about bad winter driving conditions, we believe this is when the fun starts. Our quattro-technology makes winter conditions more entertaining (as well as safer) as we have the right tools for winter conditions. There is no bad weather, only bad cars!
Results and Effectiveness
After one month more than 2742 quattro drivers joined as volunteering Snow Rescuers. And 97 non quattro drivers were helped through the service and got to experience the advantage of Audis four wheel drive quattro. And winter has just started.
Creative Execution
The service was enabled through a free iOS/Android App that keeps track of quattro-drives and allows non-quattro drivers to alert local Snow Rescuers when their help is needed.
Quattro-owners were sent a sticker/badge for their car to allow them to show off their participation in the community.
Local dealerships recruit their owners through the sales of discounted Snow Rescue Kits (snow-showel, tow-rope etc.) in the dealerships.
Insights, Strategy and the Idea
We created the Swedish Snow Rescue service – a community of quattro drivers that can be called upon to rescue non-quattro drivers when stuck in snow or bad weather.
