Developed together with Blue Hive, the campaign will used the unique capabilities PeerPerks to identify social media users in France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Romania and UK, with influence in social media for subjects such as auto, lifestyle and tech. Social media users will be invited to enter a dedicated micro-site, where they can enter they data to see if they can benefit of the free present.

1,000 eligible users in targeted areas will receive a 3D holo representation of the new car, created with a technology previously used only by US army. Also, they will get a special flash light that, when oriented towards the image, will unveil the holographic representation.

PeerPerks is a new service that allows users to receive benefits based on their social media profile, offering to them the chance to receive free products from brands, depending on their activity and influence on Twitter, Facebook and  LinkedIn. The service connects the social media users with brands that want to get to people with online influence on specific domains.

This is an important moment for influencer marketing activity. Adopting this approach by one of the biggest brands in the world for a pan-European campaign shows this is the best moment for this technology
