"Driven By Optimism"
With Hyundai’s low brand recognition we needed a campaign that not only grabbed peoples’ attention, but familiarised them with their innovative and optimistic personality. Inspired by these core values, we asked ourselves: could a car be driven by the power of positive thought?
To find out, we rigged a Hyundai i20 with an EEG head sensor and a robotic driving mechanism. If the driver was thinking positively, the car moved. We tested three influencers from very different backgrounds to see how far they could take each car, capturing their reactions in a documentary-style film.
During the campaign, there was a 58% increase in searches for ‘Hyundai’. General awareness rose by nearly 10%, but interestingly it also rose 62.5% among women.
