Ford’s revolutionary upcoming Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) is currently being featured in a new innovative campaign. This 360-degree campaign is the basis for the launch of the new compact SUV, Ford EcoSport. Titled as ‘EcoSport Urban Discoveries’, this new campaign is encouraging customers to upload pictures of unfamiliar places of their cities on www.ecosportdiscoveries.co.in. Based on votes and creativity of videos, 35 best entrants will be chosen for the next phase of this campaign.
For the second phase, two members will be chosen by each of these 35 entrants to form teams of three. Each team will get keys for the EcoSport, in order to drive to the place of interest as initially recorded in the first phase. Driving experiences of these teams would be recorded and played as videos on social media. During the entire duration, leaders of teams will continue to engage audience through the online platform. Finally, the leader who engages audiences in the best possible manner, winning the maximum number of votes gets to drive home a Ford EcoSport, with his or her team members winning international holidays.
