Situation & challenge

A tense economic climate, fertile ground for clever bargains

In a society in search of meaning and practical solutions to lighten our daily lives, second-hand and second-hand shops are on a roll. A veritable Ali Baba’s cave for young urbanites, they embody an alternative model: economic, ecological and social.

For its part, Citygo, an urban car-sharing application, shares the same values: a sustainable economic model, a desire to create social links and to raise awareness of environmentally-friendly practices.

How can the brand emerge in a saturated landscape while remaining true to its committed DNA? How can we recruit new passengers without lapsing into traditional promotional rhetoric?

By becoming part of a larger movement.

Strategy

Turning good ideas into a brand mission

Sweet Punk identified an area for activation that was highly relevant to its target audience: the recycling centres in the Paris region, which are very popular with young city dwellers and the driving force behind a new, more responsible lifestyle.

Working with 3 Instagram influencers, the campaign highlighted the recycling centres and the advantages of visiting them (through the ‘bon plan’ angle), in different types of video, on the Citygo route.

The aim was to highlight the values shared by carpooling and recycling centres, through the angle of bargains and the pleasure of finding bargains, in order to recruit new users.

Citygo is asserting its position as a brand that supports everyday life, rooted in reality and far removed from greenwashing.

Creative idea

'Citygo a de la ressource.rie’: a creative territory between fun and second-hand goods

The concept uses the codes of second-hand goods and low-budget lifestyle to position Citygo as a good mobility plan that’s as useful as it is stylish.

Educational carousels and friendly vlogs bring the operation to life on social networks, in collaboration with influencers who are experts in good taste at low prices.

Each point of contact becomes a pretext for recalling what unites recycling centres and urban car-sharing: economy, ecology and social links.

The faces of the operation

Three influencers, three styles, one responsible lifestyle.

To bring the activation to life with accuracy and spontaneity, Citygo has teamed up with three profiles of influencers who are authentic, committed and ultra-affinitive with the world of second-hand goods.

Three talents who share the same desire: to make eco-consumption desirable, fun and accessible.
