The Campaign

Shell changes its business to sell insurance instead of engine lubricants. With the "7 Dangerous days" Insurance, we remodeled our business by turning 500 lube bays across the country into insurance sales offices and over 1.000 mechanics into trained insurance brokers - offering drivers THB 100.000 coverage with the purchase of just a container of Shell Helix.

Creative Execution

A month before Songkran, we remodeled our business, turning 500 lube bays across the country into insurance sales offices, over 1.000 mechanics into trained insurance brokers and Shell Helix ads into classic insurance ads.

Results

The campaign created much-needed conversation around road safety and protection with over 10 million THB in free media. 12,000 Drivers registered and Helix sales went up 33% compared to the same period the previous year. More importantly, at the end of the 7 dangerous days, not a single driver claimed the insurance.

Shell Helix has been protecting engines for over 120 years. This time we decided to up our protection game, precisely when the Thai people need it most: Songkran, the Thai new year, also known as the 7 days of danger on the roads. With the "7 Dangerous days Insurance", we offered drivers THB 100.000 coverage with the purchase of just a container of Shell Helix.

Many brands have tried road safety campaigns before, but the number of accidents kept in the rise. We identified an opportunity to go beyond engine protection and check-up campaigns with an idea that would disrupt the category and finally catch the drivers' attention. When a century old company like Shell changes its business to sell insurance, consumers will very likely ask themselves why.
