The Challenge
Radically changing the views of hard-to-reach and notoriously cynical young people is difficult. Convincing them to buy a new Ford Ka - a car they think is for parents (or grandparents!) is even harder. So we abandoned traditional advertising rules and created a world first for the automotive industry.

The Solution
Our 'Find It' campaign challenges people to look beyond the obvious and discover a whole world of exciting new things, from music and social events to design, street art and even the new Ka - all hidden in plain sight. We created a social collaboration website that allowed our audience to find and share what they'd discovered for themselves, literally putting these on the map.

The Result
Since January 2009 over 882,000 visitors from 20 countries have visited the site and 92,991 people have registered for test drives, brochures and email dialogue and configured a Ka to their specification. This accurately targeted communication proves that established automotive brands can buck the downward economic trend - when they have the right product and campaign. Over 35,000 people have already paid a deposit for the new Ka, as of June 2009.
