Insights, Strategy & the Idea

During the launching period of the All-new Chevrolet Cruze in Thailand, aside from usual conventional media, we wanted to further generate the public's interest and additionally engage with prospect customers. We decided that the movie theatre would be an ideal platform to deliver the car's innovative branding message. This was based on the general knowledge that particular film titles usually pre-selected the audiences' demographics & lifestyle interests.



Creative Execution

We brought to life the car's key concept of "Engineered to respond" by creating Thailand's first ever live cinematic advertising experience. It became the first time that a member of the audience entered the cinema screen and drove a car away.



Results and Effectiveness

Besides appreciative round of applauses at every show, 1,148 names were collected from interested prospects throughout the ad's first 2 weeks run-time. An additional 243 potential customers signed up to test drive the car.
