Description

Re-imagining the test drive experience, we created a heart-pounding 2-minute action film called The Audition, celebrating Jaguar’s long standing relationship with film. The scene tells the harrowing tale of a rookie spy racing through a deadly gauntlet, armed only with a Jaguar XE. Taking the lead role was none other than our target demographic who would experience this high-tech test drive during the Art of Performance Tour. Nearly 10,000 consumers would get behind the wheel and become the stars of The Audition. Through seven key cities, we invited consumers to act out various spy racing scenes behind the wheel, pairing them with a director for their very own video shoot. After their action-packed debut, they test-drove the XE, and upon returning from their ride, a link to their personalized short film had been stitched, edited, and was ready for sharing across social networks. Creating a personalized experience from start to

Execution

In preparation for the tour, we drove consumers to sign up through social channels, display ads, customer retention marketing, and at the dealerships themselves. Once signed up, we sent timely reminders of the tour dates. On the day of the tour, consumers received RFID bracelets, went into hair and makeup, and headed to The Audition experience. Once in the front seat of the vehicle, it was time for their close-up as a director guided them through five scenes.

From the automated recording and editing/stitching of video, to the automatic delivery of each consumer’s clip, to a custom microsite, we leveraged a patent-pending technology that drove the Art of Performance without the use of green screen. After the scenes were filmed, each person could go for a drive in the XE, and within minutes, their action film was waiting for them in their email inbox as an easily shareable link
