50th anniversary of Volvo inventing the three point seat belt

Hyundai was launching its new i20 against some very strong competition, so making the launch memorable and fun for journalists with a powerful theme was vital for the car to get off to a good start in the media

Timing: July 2009

Theme: How Volvo’s three point belt had saved one million lives in the past 50 years

Tactic: Using original development footage and photography to reinforce the anniversary of an iconic piece of safety equipment that all drivers use each day but take for granted

Location: The Gherkin, London

The facts, figures and visual assets were pulled together early in building the campaign enabling us to push the story way beyond the motoring press, into lifestyle, broadcast and online.

The iconic Gherkin was used as the launch venue to ensure a strong attendance for the anniversary of the iconic invention. As many journalists had not been inside the Gherkin, this created extra buzz both on social networks and meant many more A-list journalists attending than expected

The event became the launch pad for a strong online and broadcast campaign which saw the story spread way beyond the traditional automotive pages, ultimately appearing as a DPS in the Independent’s lifestyle section.
