Description
The "Don’t be brave, be smart." campaign reinterprets major cinematic genres and the archetype of the courageous hero, emphasizing that, in real life—and especially when purchasing a used car—it’s not about bravery, but rather confidence and peace of mind. While buying a used vehicle has become more common, it is still often associated with risks, such as hidden defects or lack of warranties—factors that traditionally required courage. That’s why Spoticar underscores that the real challenge isn’t bravery, but trust. With its certified network and guaranteed label, purchasing a used vehicle becomes a smart, simple, and reassuring decision.
More than just a campaign, this is a full-fledged cinematic saga, bringing this message to life across various film genres, including adventure, epic storytelling, and even a horror film for Halloween 2025.
Imagined and developed by Agency 777 (Herezie and Armando Testa) in partnership with Very Content (La Pac), the campaign was directed by Tom Green (Misfits, Monsters 2: The Dark Continent). With his experience in genre films, Green was the ideal choice to anchor the campaign in cinematic storytelling while cleverly subverting its conventions.
As part of this campaign, Spoticar unveils its new tagline: "Used Car, Reinvented." This signature highlights its innovative positioning in the used car market, combining digital expertise with a strong local presence across 3,000 points of sale in Europe.
Launched April 6 in France and Italy, the campaign will roll out across 14 countries in Europe and beyond.
This professional campaign titled 'Don’t Be Brave. Be Smart.' was published in France, Italy, and Multinational Europe in April, 2025. It was created for the brand: Spoticar, by ad agency: 777. This Film medium campaign is related to the Automotive industry and contains 3 media assets. It was submitted 25 days ago.
