Citroën – Delicious by DS5
The Challenge:
- Launch Citroën’s new flagship model, DS5, beyond the vertical motoring media and encourage test drives
- Establish DS5 as a genuine alternative in the executive market
- Bring to life the model’s strap line: ‘The refined, redefined’
Fan Insight
- ‘Gastro-sexuals’ identified as target audience for the DS5
- Foodies love nothing better than making gastro ‘discoveries’ and sharing amongst their peers
- Food bloggers exert huge influence over this community
Creative Solution
- Masterchef winner Tim Anderson recruited to create a DS5 inspired pop-up restaurant
- £5 menu developed based upon the 5 senses, with all proceeds going to FareShare, a food poverty charity
- As media preview, a ‘foodie’ treasure hunt invited journalists to drive the DS5 to forage for ingredients and then cook with Tim Positive reviews directed public to a DS5 Facebook tab to enter the ballot for a table at the restaurant, installed for four days within a ‘blank canvas’ warehouse in Shoreditch
The Results
- Delicious by DS5 was voted ‘Best Hospitality Experience’ at the 2012 Eventia Awards, beating Wimbledon and Ascot
