trends

Many brands have struggled when it comes to converting a popular offline presence into online recognition. Hoping to remove any practical barriers to this process, and encourage instant online appreciation, remault were displaying their innovative Facebook share pillars at the recent AutoRAI Amsterdam Motorshow.

The show is the largest automotive event in the Netherlands, and featured brands such as BMW, Lamborghini, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti, Lotus and Jaguar. In order to stand out from the crowd, Renault cars were accompanied by Facebook pillars designed in collaboration with blogmij.

 The 250,000 visitors to the show were invited to collect their free Renault RFID micro-chip embedded cards from the Renault stand, which they could then link to their Facebook profile. Once the card had been linked, simply swiping it in front a car’s pillar would count as a Facebook “like”, posting a link to that car on the card bearer’s profile.

But he won the competition and was awarded the title of Jr. Mr. Europe. By the age of twenty he's named Mr. Europe and he also was the youngest Mr. Universe in history.
