This campaign highlights that customers no longer have to go through the hassles of looking for the right buyer for their car and also focuses on benefits of selling directly to the end customer; hence it gives our customers the best of both worlds.”

     

    Added Janmenjoy Mohanty, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas: “In our first initiative for Cars 24, we spotted a unique problem – that sellers often don’t realise buyers are right around where they are, closer to them than they think. And we got Dhoni to play on the front foot, showing second-hand car sellers that Cars 24 was indeed the best place to meet those buyers, directly.”
