We firmly believe in the need for the use of a fictional character capable of embodying the modernity as well as the retro quality of our product.

We came up with the name « My Dear Watson » after leaving our previous jobs as traders at the City in London. The financial crash of 2008 worked as an epiphany for us, and we realized that our true purpose was to fulfill our need for creative and innovative projects. Nevertheless, our experience of stocks and exchanges makes a suitable for working with companies where the stakes are high. Most of all, we are tech-savvy able to understand the full range of your product’s features. Not only are we fearless and bold, but we also hold ourselves up to strong standards.

Thispartof thecampaign,althoughtargeted at a rather young audience, isconveyedbyTVcommercialsnot showingthe product directly but paying hommageto the car as i t was in the 60s.Conveniently, the David Cameron’sadministration passed a bill in June 2016allowing theBBC to run corporate-relatedadvertisement. The film will show thedoctor in a rush, spotting a 2CV in thestreetsoftheLondonof2017,andgettingin hastily.The twist here is that in the cartheDoctorwon’tfindtheinteriorofa2CV,but the inside of theTardis instead.Thenthe Tardis will come to life, initiating theusual travel in time.Then a black screen,andthismysterioussentence:

Meanwhi le , the in te rac t ionbetweengenerations is a thecoreofourcampaign. In order to achieve that, wethoughtitwasnecessarytobepresentinthe very streets of London. We arealready in touch with Uber which couldgrant us with a partnership. Inspired bystreet-marketing methods, we are tobuild a system enabling us to get to theconsumerinreallife.Ateamof10driverswill take the wheel of 2CVs, surprisingUber users with this very cute andpeculiar car. The passengers telling thedriver about their own experiences with2CVs will be ask to offer a testimony oftheirownadventureswithit.
