Execution
The brand broke down the campaign into three major phases, as it all started at the peak of New Years with the launch of Jeep India’s digital properties including social media, a teaser website and newsletters to keep everyone updated.
They created a social media buzz with their countdown posts from January 27 to February 2, 2016. Further, Jeep India conducted a Twitter activity called #IAmTheOne; the contest asked the digital followers to tell them why they deserved to win a pass to view the car.
#IAmTheOne whose country is the most unique country in world.

On Facebook, the auto brand conducted an engagement activity where users were asked to tag friends they would like to take on a drive in a Jeep vehicle. The idea was to tag the one mate they would love to take a trip with and why.
Users were seen tagging their best friends and hopeful travel buddies, increasing the volume of the campaign.
