The Campaign

To work in the same enterprise, every day in a very close contact to each other, causes relationship crisis between fathers and sons thus affecting their business, too. Renault comes to the rescue of family run enterprises with an innovative solution: let fathers and sons cooperate but at a distance. How? Through an APP, developed together with Google For Work, which provides a set of digital tools to share all the phases of their work (files, memo, docs, delivery schedules share, etc.) without sharing the same workplace. This way Renault Business Booster distances fathers and sons at work but reconciles them in the private life. And the recovered family union boosts their business, too.

Creative Execution

We developed the Business Booster APP in collaboration with Google for Work. It deals with an APP providing all the necessary tools to let fathers and sons cooperate at distance. The launch was supported by an integrated campaign, since July 2015, on TV, print, radio and display. In the meantime, a roadshow throughout 100 Italian cities promoted the new range at the dealers, who arranged events and test drives thus generating leads. Some of the fathers&sons couples from the enterprises who took the test drive, became protagonists of interactive videos in which users can explore the features of different commercial vehicles by switching from father’s to son’s point of view. A digital platform have been developed to host all the contents. On December 2015, thanks to the collaboration with Publitalia, the campaign idea also became a TV show “Sos Family Business”: 4 episodes aired on Mediaset channels in prime time.

The campaign addresses craftsmen, small entrepreneurs, owners of family-run businesses. Renault, with his commercial vehicles, has always been close to small businesses providing them with the best tools to work with. This time, to promote and position the new range as the “success booster” for any kind of business and to make it relevant to the target, Renault identified a problem that usually causes crisis in family run businesses and created tools able to solve it out. Thanks to the integration with Google, Renault proposed through the “Business Booster APP” a complete “full-services offer”: for the car and for the business, helping fathers and sons to cooperate and manage their day by day activities.
