The Campaign

The benefit of 24 hour availability is shown with 24 hours. Or to put it simple: We created a real clock out of real electric cars. Here is how it worked: For 24 hours a digital clock was created. The clock was made of real BMWi cars which were parked in the form of a digital clock display. Every minute the cars were moved in realtime to show the new time. The whole time our „clock“ was filmed from above and live streamed online. The digital – but at the same time real – clock worked as the key visual of our promotional campaign.

Creative Execution

For 24 hours we made a real digital clock out of BMWi cars. The cars were filmed and the video was used to create lots of advertising material. For example youtube videos, screensaver, banner and widgets. The clock was spread all over the media and created a great awareness online. In addition the virtual clock was used in showrooms and as projection. During the promotion the clock got lots of attention by the people of Switzerland.

The results were impressive: The clock became directly popular within the car community. Thousands of people downloaded the clock onto their computers. And with it, the key message. Repower registered a 100% increase in visitors on their website. The number of usage of Repower charging stations increased twofold in just three months. This campaign has increased and expanded the e-mobility network in Switzerland.

We wanted to create a spectacular brand experience for our target group. Therefore we had to come up with something absolutely new. Our target group lives in the city and is very interested in all kind of technology. Furthermore they are online 24/7. So we came up with an idea that catched them right on the internet. Our promotional campaign worked on lots of different digital media (youtube, screensaver, banner, widgets and more).
