The brief

Make people want the app.

The My BMW App is where ownership lives now: navigation, vehicle health, charging and live status in one place. The job was to drive awareness and downloads, and the lead was a film that shows the app doing the work rather than talking about it.

The film

The film does the selling.

We built the campaign around a film. The app is rendered on device and moves through its real jobs, navigation, vehicle health, charging and remote control, set inside a faceted BMW-blue environment that keeps it unmistakably BMW.

The craft

Down to the weave.

The look was built, not borrowed. The device and every screen were rendered in 3D and lit inside a BMW-blue set. Behind the interface sits a carbon-fibre weave washed with the BMW gradient, the kind of detail you feel before you notice it.

On screen

Every feature, in motion.

The film carries the whole app, one screen at a time, each feature shown working rather than described.

The rollout

Then, everywhere owners look.
