The Campaign

The word ‘Heng’ in ‘HengDirect’ means ‘luck’ in Thai which shows an angle of Thai’s beliefs in supernatural in every aspect of life. The beliefs that relate to road and traffic are ‘Holy Guardians’ who Thais worship to protect their vehicles. Our idea is to link this belief to the service that brand provides. In today’s situation where our targets face traffic accident problem everyday, it shows the result that these ‘Road Guardians’ may not perform very well. The story takes place in a set up scenario of a court where road users sue the ‘Road Guardians’ over various car accident issues. In this scenario filled with elements of traffic to show how poorly Thai traffic is nowadays, ‘HengDirect’ is introduced as a new hero who offers the solution for all car accident problems.

Creative Execution

The story takes place in a set up scenario of a court where road users sue the ‘Road Guardians’ over various car accident issues. In this scenario filled with elements of traffic to show how poorly Thai traffic is nowadays, ‘HengDirect’ is introduced as a new hero who offers the solution for all car.

The video became a buzz within 5 days after launched with 1.2 million views, 12k shares, 3.1 million reaches and 600k engagements. 64% of the organic reaches is calculated to 206% of earned media from total media spending. Number of fans who likes the page increased by 100 times. HengDirect went from zero to hero as the online insurance broker with top engagements with 22% higher engagement than other brands in social media.

Turning the usual scenario of car users in Thailand into humour, this work twist the story of Thai’s belief of holy Guardians and Thai traffic issues in a sarcastically entertaining way.

The strategy is to introduce ‘HengDirect’ in the way that consumers can remember the name and understand what the service stands for by using the relevant insight that can generate buzz on social.
