How to launch an electric car and stay in tune with the times?

The Renault Twingo was launched in 1993 with a memorable ad featuring illustrations from Philippe Petit-Roulet, a catchy song from Bobby Mc Ferrin and a tagline that proposed a new look at cars: "À vous d'inventer la vie qui va avec" or "It's up to you to invent the life that goes with it".

To launch the electric version in 2020, we recycled the original campaign, giving it a refresh. The first step was to adapt the tagline to "It's up to you to re-invent the life that goes with it"; going further, we invited Petit-Roulet to give a fresh look to his illustrations; finally, we kept the timeless song from Bobby.

The result was an emotional bang. The fans, media, and potential buyers remembered the iconic spot from '93 and its core proposition: re-think cars.
