Hands-Free Road Trip

Entered in Auto

Objective

Lincoln wanted to take its new hands-free BlueCruise technology for a test drive. And as it turns out, one of the longest transcontinental stretches in the U.S. is The Lincoln Highway -- spanning 14 states and over 3,000 miles from Times Square to Lincoln Park, San Francisco. So, we drove across the country in a Lincoln Corsair…with no hands.

Strategy

We partnered with @aprettycoolhoteltour, a couple who makes their living going coast-to-coast with viral TikToks, aimed at people who have a wanderlust for American road trips. They documented the entire journey, stopping at a Giant Shoe House, a Giant Quarter, a tiny A-frame under the stars, a refurbished grain bin, and the famous and very cozy Stein-Erikson lodge.

Results

Not only did this content series gain awareness and affinity for the new Lincoln Corsair and its BlueCruise technology, but it accrued tens of thousands of ‘likes’ for a bold act that only Lincoln could credibly pull off.
