Execution

The Magic Mobile Drive-in is a mobile movie event, product demonstration and guerilla car showroom in one. We scouted disused lots and abandoned car parks and then transported every element of a drive-in via Honda Jazz, letting us demonstrate unique 'magic seats' that can fit almost anything. People applied for tickets via a ballot system and once there, they could sample the Jazz up close - an ambient installation that was effectively a car showroom (however, refreshingly free of car salesmen). Results were strong - Honda surveyed a number of attendees and found that intention to buy had jumped from 20% to 75% post event. Words used to describe the brand also changed - pre-event, words like 'boring', 'standard' and 'reliable' were used. Post-event, they used words like 'innovative', 'creative', 'young'. While competitor's sales dropped 10%, Honda's sales grew 15% and the event touched millions who hadn't even attended via social media.
