Repco Launches New Brand Platform ‘Gets You Goin” with Thinkerbell

This new brand idea uses every opportunity to show motoring enthusiasts that Repco knows and deeply understands all the little quirks and truths that come with loving cars. Launching with a suite of films, 'Gets you goin’ vignettes moments that all car enthusiasts can relate to; from almost losing a 10mL socket in an engine bay, to making an instant best mate just because they’re into cars too.

This new work also features a brand mnemonic that harnesses an important part of Repco’s racing DNA. The engine of Jack Brabham’s famous BT19 formula 1 car was developed and built by Repco in the 60’s and now its sound has been sampled and used to activate the “rev” as part of the brand’s logo.

“We love how this idea really does permeate right through every touchpoint. Whether it’s a retail poster in store or a radio ad, everything is an opportunity for Repco to prove its shared passion for the drive." says Ben Couzens, executive creative tinker at Thinkerbell.

”Repco knows our customers – across trade and retail we share their passion. Repco’s new look and campaign brings the ultimate customer insights to life, picking up on moments that will resonate with car lovers of all ages. We’ve deliberately taken a strong lead from research and customer voice and the subtle humour and quirks of what it means to be a car lover is at the heart of these ads. Now that it’s live, we look forward to the ‘Gets You Goin’ campaign coming to life throughout our marketing and our business,’ says Elizabeth Cox, GM marketing and retail strategy NZ.
