The Brief

The objective was to promote the new BMW X6 with xDrive – the intelligent all-wheel drive system for smooth driving on rough ground. The challenge was to demonstrate this innovative technology to customers without having to get into the car itself.

Campaign Success

We created an art installation at the Dubai World Trade Center that let everyone experience the benefits of xDrive, without even having to step into the car: A 3D mapped grid consisting of 50,000 Xs, printed on 420 m2 of floor space. A stunning optical illusion, demonstrating the xDrive feel: Although the underground looks uneven, walking over it feels plain smooth. A simple QR code scan leads to more information and a real test drive with the new BMW X6. The installation was implemented for two weeks. A video trailer was published on facebook to get the message to those who couldnt be reached on site.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

The xWalk became the main attraction for 30,000 visitors in two weeks. During that time, the QR code was scanned 4,541 times, resulting in 830 test drives. A facebook video of the installation reached 3,098 Mio. with 651,461 views within 6 days.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

We promoted the all-new BMW X6 with the most innovative xDrive technology in the most analogue way: With a floor print. Demonstrating the feel of xDrive without having to step into the car. Generating real test drives through a QR code in the end.
