As a key sponsor, MINI wanted to help the SPCA find homes for their dogs. The problem was, in NZ, too many people write off rescue dogs as second-rate mutts, so finding them homes is difficult. If more people knew just how smart these animals really are, more would get adopted. So, we taught three SPCA dogs to drive a MINI – the new Cooper-S model, of course. Results: Exposed to over 1b people. News coverage in 70+ countries. Most searched story online – 4 days. By campaign’s end, SPCA had adopted out every single dog. MINI sales are up 200%.
