CarDekho's new campaign celebrates The Everyday Hero

Created by Leo Burnett India for CarDekho, The Everyday Hero campaign champions the cause of personal mobility as cities undergo unlock.

As cities re-open post the lockdown, personal mobility has taken on a significant relevance. Owing to heightened consumer anxiety as they identify means of transport that are safe and reliable, sales of cars and bikes have seen a rise. Keeping this in mind CarDekho, a full-stack auto tech company has launched its newest campaign, The Everyday Hero. The new campaign reiterates the safety-related benefits of having your personal vehicle with the narrative revolving around a frontline worker.

The film captures the relevance and reliability of a safe commute with a heart-warming story depicting a retired doctor who decides to resume his duty against the wishes of his family. They realize that although they can’t shake the doctor’s indomitable spirit they can help him stay safe by buying him a car that limits his exposure to public transport thereby underlining the message of safety and security.
