Ogilvy Mexico for Mattel – Little car, great unconventional ideas

Matchbox Toy Car – LITTLE HAND


Brief
To promote the fact that Matchbox makes the most realistic scale model toy cars.
Creative execution
We developed stickers of human hands that were placed on different car windows, on parking lots, malls, toystores, supermarkets and streets. The position in which the fingers were placed simulated the hand of a kid grabbing the car, as if he is about to play with it
Results
This effort helped create brand awareness, primarily by word of mouth and media exposure.

Hot Wheels – STANDS

Brief
Hot Wheels needed one new-media space that could interact closer with kids allowing the new strategy to be positioned: “Hot Wheels has all the adrenaline and speed of car races in scale”.
Creative execution
Mexican boys are used to getting together with friends in the streets and park squares to play “the little road” on the sidewalks. Starting off from this insight, we developed stickers pretending to be people seated watching a car race but in a similar scale to the Hot Wheels Cars. These items were stuck where this “little road” game took place; then kids played and experienced the new brand strategy.
Results
This action increased the brand awareness and made sales grow up to 30% versus the former year.

Hot Wheels is a loved mark in Mexico. The challenge was to make an innovative Outdoor.
Creative Execution
Everybody has had a little car in the hands. This time, Hotwheels make people feel as a little car, with a really big boy outdoor looking at them. The outdoor was installed in a very transit avenue, at México City.

Hot Wheels – SPEEDWAY



Insights, Strategy & the Idea
Hot Wheels is a brand that creates great experiences and amazing creative advertising, this way, fathers and children can identify our brand and make it his own.
Our target enjoy speed and challenge, they have the perception that Hot Wheels are small cars that help to express this.
The idea works because nobody can ignore this and everybody wants to tell his friends or relatives how amazing it can be.
The consumer feels part of Hot Wheels, being part of a toy that is generating a brand experience.
Creative Execution
Two giant children shape structures were placed in Mexico-Cuernavaca speedway. They make you live the experience of being inside a Hot Wheels.
Results and Effectiveness
We continued with the leadership brand positioning, communicating their goal about not selling a product but the fame that Hot Wheels obtained through an ad.
This caused that this piece of communication were mentioned in blogs, social networks, websites and local media. This was not only an outdoor piece, there were also all sorts of unpaid mentions covering different targets we wanted to achieve.

Hot Wheels – TRACKTAPE




For more than 40 years, Hot Wheels products have been a children´s favorite. Although extremely fun, tracks don´t have the immediacy and portability of playing as cars do. How to invite kids to play with Hot Wheels cars and tracks whenever, wherever? We developed the Track Tape. A simple, economic and fun product that allows kids to transform every place into a true race track. Besides, the Track Tape works as advertising, placed exactly where the target is by the own target market
