Results and Effectiveness

This demonstrated how easy it was to fill up with PETRONAS Primax 95. It was as easy as engaging in Malaysia’s favorite pastime – going to shopping malls. Shopper were amused by what they saw, and many shared photos which were uploaded onto Facebook. Thus, spreading the campaign further than initially planned.

Creative Execution

To gain presence away from the usual cluttered mediums, pillars at parking areas were disguised to resemble PETRONAS pump islands. These were placed at busy shopping complexes in the Kuala Lumpur area with directions to the nearest PETRONAS station.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Due to fierce competition, PETRONAS had to protect their market share by reminding motorists to fill up with PETRONAS Primax 95. The target of this campaign were fence sitters. Non-loyalists who were not easily swayed by promotional or product advertising. They often switched brands and filled up at the most conveniently located petrol station.
