01 — Objective

Hankook Tire, a Korean company, aimed to deepen its connection with the U.S. market, particularly in Nashville, its U.S. headquarters. With Hankook’s ties to Music City and music being a top activity people engage in while driving, a partnership with a local TN band, Colony House, was a natural fit.

02 — Details

Developed a campaign following the band’s 6,231-mile, 48-day U.S. bus tour on Hankook tires. The campaign featured behind-the-scenes content on a custom microsite with an interactive map, a mileage tracker, and a curated Spotify playlist.

Geo-targeted ads, sweepstakes, and weekly posts fueled social engagement.
