The Campaign

Dacia presents Dacia Family Project, the contest that convinced Udinese supporters’ to start a family by giving away a seasonal ticket for them and the future supporter too, in order to grow a new generation of fans.

Creative Execution

Starting from September 2015, Dacia stimulated Udinese supporters to start a family with a direct campaign: a special pregnancy test, distributed out of the stadium that in case of positive result showed the black&white stripes of Udinese Calcio. It also created a web app to match the calendar of fertile days with the Udinese’s championship matches calendar that was supported by a display campaign focused on Udinese supporters. To increase communicability through the target, were also made some video inscriptions where the Udinese football players thank their fans for the future supporter. At the end of the contest, for the first time in the Italian football championship, during the Udinese-Napoli match a whole sector of the stadium has been reserved to the winners: more than 100 pregnant women populated the stadium and 20 of them lined up with the football players, with everyone's eyes on them.

Dacia Family Project is a campaign that involved Udinese supporters in order to create a new generation of football fans, a direct response of problem to the empty stadiums and violent support. For the first time, in the Italian Football Championship, more than 100 pregnant women populated the stadium and 20 of them lined up with football players wearing a special jersey, to underline that the love for their favourite team could be born from their belly. Football fans and sports journalists alike were directly affected by the message and spread it further in social media and sports media coverage.

Dacia is a low cost range of family cars made for people with limited economic resources. Hence Dacia wanted to take advantage of its Serie A sponsorship with Udinese Football Team to increase brand affinity with the family, starting with people passionate about sports. In order to set the tone for the launch of a new limited series dedicated to Families.
