Vons and Safeway

Putting race fans in the pit crew

Vons and Safeway needed to engage NASCAR attendees in a way that would earn social shares and drive traffic to a campaign site, while coping with race-day crowd volumes. The ETZEL Agency brought us in.

Brand ambassadors worked the crowd face to face with the green-screen running on an iPad, putting people into the race as part of a pit crew and showing them the result immediately. The reaction to seeing yourself in the scene is what makes someone share it.

Delivery was by coded photo access card. In a loud, moving, outdoor crowd that beats typing an address into a phone every time, and it turns the handover into a keepsake rather than a form.

Where would yours run?

One store or three hundred. Same answer.
