THE
POLYAMOROUS
CAR.
Client: Lynk & Co | Category: Brand concept, campaigns
Are you ready for a norm-breaking car relationship?
In 2022, we unleashed the Leave the Ownershit Behind campaign, introducing Lynk & Co as the new way of having a car in multiple European markets. In the next phase of the launch we stayed far away from the overused and outdated car advertising jargon.
The challenge
Lynk & Co’s offer is whatever you want it to be. You can subscribe month-to-month, borrow it, buy it, and share it with others. Our challenge was how to communicate this broad spectrum of choices in a way that emotionally resonates with young urbanites.
Key emotional driver
Do you have the same relationship with your car as your parents have with theirs? If you’re part of Lynk & Co’s target audience, you most likely don’t. You don’t want to commit to ownership or be tied down by a leasing contract. You want mobility, not the car as a status symbol. You’re open to unconventional solutions and lifestyle choices.
Much like human relationships, car ownership has its norms—buy a car, and then it’s yours for years. Call it car monogamy. It’s very easy to adopt this norm almost without thinking about it. But maybe monogamy isn’t the right choice for you? We want people to realize that today, thanks to Lynk & Co, there are all kinds of possible car relationships that may be more fitting to their lifestyle.
solution
We presented all the possibilities and benefits that Lynk & Co offers through comparisons to the endless various forms of human relationships.
Our message? Maybe you just want a summer fling. Or a one-month stand. An on/off kinda thing. A ménage à trois. Or an epic monogamous love story. Lynk & Co enables precisely the kind of relationship you desire with a car.
IMPACT
With a reach exceeding 50 million people across Europe, our campaign surpassed its goals and introduced our freedom-loving audience to car access that aligns seamlessly with their life choices.
