2019 Winner
Fountain Tire
Truck-Thru
FCB Canada
SilverConnection Strategy
The commercial trucking segment is a crucial vertical to Fountain Tire’s business. However, fleet owners view tires as a costly expense and end up having a transactional relationship with the retailer. Fountain Tire wanted to show that it wasn’t just a vendor, but an invested partner.
To help reduce the cost of downtime (a commercial fleet’s most expensive problem), the brand and FCB created a drive-thru that truckers could “Truck-Thru” instead of having to leave their vehicles.
The 20-foot stall was constructed exclusively for fleets, serving them free coffee and snacks. The Silver-winning Connection Strategy entailed highway ads, announcements on truckers’ CB radio, and pamphlets were given out at nearby rest-stops to target the hard-to-reach audience.
