T3 | The Think Tank

Automotive

T3 understands both the technical and emotional aspects of automotive marketing. We have wide-ranging experience in the industry, led by work for Ford, ConocoPhillips Lubricants and John Deere.

Our work is just as diverse, including integrated advertising campaigns, websites, media buying, social media programs, technical material, point-of-sale, video training programs and event work.

Ford: Fiesta Dealer Training Program

The 2011 Ford Fiesta was introduced with an innovative social media program that started more than a year before the car hit showrooms. To get dealers ready in advance, T3 developed Countdown: Fiesta, a 14-part video series that combined training, entertainment and social media.

Our insight: Training is boring.

Our solution: Mix information, sketch comedy, online contests and mobile alerts to talk about the new Fiesta in a completely new way.

Phillips 66: Heavy Duty Engine Oil

With the first launch of exclusive new technology, Liquid Titanium®  protection additive, in heavy-duty engine oils, we defined and visualized the protective strength of the new oil additive using engine enemies to represent the leading causes of engine breakdown.

Phillips 66: Kendall Motor Oil

Born in 1881, Kendall Motor Oil has a performance heritage. An exclusive new technology, Liquid Titanium® protection additive, created an opportunity to reinvigorate this icon.

To start, we had to give skeptical customers proof. We worked with our clients to define and visualize the protective strength of the new oil at a molecular level. From there, we brought Kendall roaring back with a campaign that put smart thinking ahead of big spending.
