With the BMW fleet of press vehicles locked up in the garage, the strategy couldn’t rely on branded pitches to media. Instead, North and Notch designed a campaign to spread moments of joy and educate audiences on social media through various initiatives, including knowledge-testing “Trivia Tuesdays,” photo-focused “Wallpaper Wednesdays,” and a Q&A opportunity dubbed “BMW Genius,” all of which surpassed previous campaign benchmarks for engagement.
