Using Snapchat 'Jeep Code' Campaign by Publicis Toronto turns world into a Jeep showroom.

The average Jeep buyer is typically a Boomer or a Gen Xer. To target younger generations who have been buying more vehicles during the pandemic, Publicis Toronto developed an innovative marketing campaign, Jeep Code - transforming every Jeep grille into a barcode, powered by Snapchat. Yes, Snapchat!

The “Jeep Code” Snapchat lens allows for Jeep enthusiasts and consumers to use their smartphones to turn any Jeep iconic seven-slot grille they see into a barcode, which will search the Jeep vehicle lineup, showing information about the model, price and even tells you what inventory exists nearby. 

Oh that's clever.

“The new Jeep Code lens provides our Jeep enthusiasts a revolutionary, new, virtual shopping experience with an easy point of their smartphone,” said William Levasseur, vice president sales and marketing, Canada. “More and more, vehicle purchases are being conducted in the digital realm and this is a great way for new or potential customers to instantaneously experience the Jeep showroom at their convenience, learn about our exciting vehicle lineup, search available inventory and connect with a local dealer.”

This is quite clever. Using Snapchat to deliver information on inventory and pricing, Jeep has basically turned the whole world into a Jeep showroom. It's a little bit like what Volvo did earlier this year with their "Volvo Street Configurator app". Great minds think alike and all that.
