Ford Social Media Launch - Explorer Live

Launching a vehicle in a category defined by static broadcast thinking required a complete structural pivot. At a time when brands talked at people through 30-second commercials, we chose to talk with them in real-time.

The Insight: Car buyers don’t want polished marketing; they want unscripted answers. Before "always-on" was an industry standard, we realized that the fastest way to build trust was to open up the conversation.

The Strategy: We turned a national car launch into a live, unscripted content engine. We invited the world to ask anything and responded with custom video content in real-time.

This was a massive operational undertaking that predated the modern social media landscape. We built a system to create, produce, and deploy high-craft content at the speed of the internet.

The System: We launched 150+ real-time videos in six months. Each video was a direct response to a live consumer question, distributed across emerging social platforms.

The Pioneer Factor: We were building the "Always-On" model before there was an agency blueprint for it. We managed a complex workflow of strategy, production, and distribution that allowed us to respond to culture as it happened.

Created and launched 150+ real-time videos in six months, each driven by live consumer questions and distributed across emerging social platforms.

What brands now do every day, we were doing before there was even a playbook.

By breaking the broadcast mold, we achieved engagement levels that were unprecedented for the category.

The Reach: 34M+ impressions driven entirely by real-time, organic engagement.

The Impact: Incremental reach increased by 240%, and brand loyalty doubled over the course of the campaign.

The Bottom Line: The launch resulted in a 14% lift in sales, proving that a participatory brand model outperforms a passive one.

The Recognition: Awarded the D-Show Social Media Award for pioneering a new way of working.
