Execution
Through a regional TV campaign Hiroshi and Osamu were introduced to the region as two bumbling, likable Japanese spies on a mission to gather information about Chevrolet's success. The region befriended them by adding them on Facebook and twitter, and H&O quickly became a movement. Soon they were delegating missions, giving out rewards and engaging all their friends & followers in the quest for more knowledge about Chevrolet. The H&O page on Facebook became a brand forum for Chevrolet where people debated and shared experiences with the brand.H&O were caught on CCTV at a Chevrolet showroom, and a first-in-the-region Web TV series were produced and broadcast through the leading TV station's Video on Demand platform (MBC.Net/HO) over 8 weeks. H&O became stars and featured on magazine covers.One of their loyal university friends captured their story in a manga-style comic.
