The Campaign
We set up 50 car accidents in 2 hours just for fun.
The Brief
With one used Oka car price of $300 the overall budget of the event was about $5000. This includes the cars themselves, service preparation, painting, ice skating ring booking and everything else.

Execution
Smpolis Insurance presents: A first ever Car Curling Tournament.

A huge buzz all over the world!

More than 10 000 mass media publications, news coverage, blog articles and social media posts with 1 billion media impressions.
With 0 media spend Smartpolis earned media reached $5 000 000.
The website traffic increased by 700%.
Smartpolis gained new partners and the founder of the agency became a local celebrity. The average new client check raised by 23%.
The Situation
With 0 media budget we reached a huge audience all over the world.
The Strategy
Big insurance companies are terrible to deal with. Their contracts are incredibly complicated, and in case of an accident they do everything to accuse you and not to pay.
That's why Russians don’t like buying insurance. But they like fun games.
