Oxbotica offers a world leading software stack that enables any vehicle on the planet to drive autonomously.
We were challenged to get under the skin of its business and simplify its technology into a series of powerful video assets.
These needed to cut through with Oxbotica’s most important audiences: investors / automotive suppliers / off-road players.
We simplified Oxbotica’s complex technology in three simple steps:

ŠKODA wanted to target parents with its SUV range and connect with them on emotional as well as rational level.
Research found on average parents drive more than 1,600 miles a year ferrying their children around. It’s also a universal truth that children can be reluctant to take on household duties.
To help strike a fairer family life balance, ŠKODA created the Parent Taxi app, which, using GPS tracking technology, allows parents to charge their kids in chores for the distance they travel taking them to extracurricular activities.
A free to download IOS & Android App was created, supported by an instructional video featuring well-known parent blogger Slummy Single Mummy. We launched the app at the start of the summer holidays, and distributed with the video, a series of images and a press release to media and influencers. All assets were also used across marcomms channels and included paid social media, targeted at parents. We developed a campaign landing page which housed all the content and drove traffic to ŠKODA website. In addition, we loaned ŠKODA SUVs out to media and influencers who have children. They then wrote up their experience of the app.
The Scrambler 1200 had been released a year ago to great fanfare. It received great acclaim amongst bike fans however Triumph wanted to look to reinvigorate interest in the bike and were keen to show off the capability and fun of the bike, specifically targeting the majority of bikers that don’t read the bike press. Additionally, we had to raise awareness of the Triumph owned adventure centre in Wales.
We arranged two media exclusives with Autocar and Top Gear (199k bikers in the UK regularly consume these two titles). The titles brought down cars relevant to their titles and participated in a race around the adventure rider against our Scrambler 1200. They both filmed the race and created some great content.
As well as repeat coverage in Autocar, the online articles reached 22.3k people and generated well over half a million video views.

Raise awareness of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier which was taking place across the UAE. We were also tasked with promoting the game of cricket to the next generation of potential stars in the country and providing them with the opportunity to actively get involved with playing cricket.

Following the school visits students attended the qualifiers and were given the opportunity to meet the players and coaches of participating teams for autographs and photos.
