Piaggio Ape: Chalta hai to desh chalta hai

The brief

The Ape three-wheeler carries small businesses across the country. Piaggio wanted a brand campaign about that role, not about payload and mileage.

The insight

Look at any Indian street and most of what moves through it got there on a small commercial vehicle.

The idea

Hand-drawn maps of India made entirely of roads, markets, temples and towns, with an Ape pulling the whole thing along. When the Ape runs, the country runs.

The work

3 pieces from the campaign
