Tireland, part of Groupe Touchette, is a network of member garages that offer exemplary service and a vast tire inventory. As winter approached, the brand wanted to stand out from its competitors to Quebecers, especially right before the winter tire deadline.
The objective
Develop brand awareness among vehicle owners.
The insight
Purchasing and installing tires generates little excitement among vehicle owners since it’s something they are obligated to do.
The idea
Since tires aren’t exactly considered an exciting topic on their own, we decided to give the experience a touch of the extraordinary. We set the action in a garage where two characters, mechanics Mario and Dan, perform their magic every day.
