Honda “Not the same” - Case Study

Honda - “Not the same”

Honda wanted to target females under 40 for the launch of the new HR-V. Research showed the approach used by other car brands in the category featured 20-somethings in the prime of their lives, driving through city streets listening to music or sipping lattes. But this doesn’t speak to females under 40 - people are not all the same.

So, We’re not the Same was born. One actor playing eight different roles, based on eight real-life stories. A tongue-in-cheek play on those “interchangeable 20-somethings” we see being depicted everywhere else in the small SUV category.

Nick the (very) casual cyclist

Through surveys, we gathered up hundreds of stories from Australians about their purchasing experience and how they like to use their vehicles.

We used them to create a content series highlighting how versatile the new Honda HR-V is. Some funny, some unglamorous and some downright weird!
