Notes: We’ve all heard a horrific used car story or two. So it’s no surprise that used car shoppers feel like their shopping experience is a gamble and their journey is driven by uncertainty.

And things can get pretty dry – as most used car messaging focuses on rational decision making. The design is the same old: an image of a vehicle and some generic message like “peace of mind” as the headline. Bleh. So we set out to break through the mold by transforming our brand into everything used car advertising is not. We showed our consumers that even when the unexpected happens, expect happiness.

We connected with people emotionally by creating humorous stories. But in order to be effective, we also had to rewrite the strategy for the campaign. We used data, insights and retargeting to make sure we hit our active shoppers with the right message…at the right time. We created a…uhm, library…of bite-sized teasers and snack-sized stories across platforms including pre-roll, online banners, social media and YouTube. Each piece led the consumer to our website that allows us to showcase our stories in a site that feels like a modern take on an old school library.
