Smart Car UK: Engaging millennials through social media - strategy and campaignsKenty Empire
This is a proposal I was asked to put together looking at how Smart Car could engage with a more young and trendy audience.
The ideas have no connection to the Smart21 Treasure Hunt campaign Launched in November which the agency have said they conceived in April 2013.

1. Hi!
Me with a tiger cub at the Tiger Temple, Thailand.
2. Life is what happens to you
while you're busy making other plans.
- John Lennon
At the Angkorwat temple ruins, Cambodia.
3. So instead, I go ahead and do things.
I experiment.
My first experience in snow, while at 13,000 feet a.m.s.l., near Gaumukh peak, Himalayas, India.
4. It is what gives me the courage
to take risks, do new things and
to experience something as
ethereal as this.
The morning after a snow blizzard swept the valley, outside our tent at Gaumukh in the Himalayas, India.
5. Sure, I have faced my share of hiccups.
I failed at my first attempt to build a successful
company but I tried again.
I had encountered an unexpected landslide during
one of my treks but I continued.
During one of the many weekend biking treks in the Nilgiri ranges, India.
6. Because, I realized that –
the dots do connect eventually,
though the picture looks exactly
the way you want to make it look.
Things do fall in place,
but not without you making an effort.
A pencil sketch I drew of a picture I had seen. It depicted exactly what I felt after my startup failed. I called it “The Big Picture”.
7. So I have tried, time and again,
to rebound from my failures,
to move forward and
to take on new challenges.
At 17,000 feet a.m.s.l, a day after passing through a landslide site, Annapurna circuit, Nepal.
8. Over time, I realized that these treks meant so
much more to me than just conquering the
summit.
The surprise we woke up to - zebras joining us for breakfast outside our camp at Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.
9. They were about the experiences
of trudging along a steep hike with blisters under my toes,
of cooking rice in a solar-cooker with the locals at 15,000 feet,
and of debating existentialism under the moonlit sky with
trekkers from across the globe.
It taught me to appreciate the essence of a journey and not just
the end result, a learning I shall always value.

10. Though the joy of reaching
the peak has its own charm.
At Uhuru Peak, 19,341 feet a.m.s.l., Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
11. To trek a mountain, of which I had only read in
geography text books with awe -
a volcanic mountain at the equator having a vast
glacier at its peak – was indeed a dream come true.
At Uhuru Peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
12. And I believe, I could do so...
