As a part of first-of-its-kind initiative at the Motor Show of Auto Expo 2014, SIAM launched the ‘Say it with Slogan’ which allowed to create awareness on counterfeit spare part market amongst visitors & also helped to connect with the young and tech savvy audience.
To achieve the above SIAM engaged visitors at ‘SIAMFightingFake’ stalls located at three different locations across the venue. Each stall was provided with an interactive kiosk having in-built social media to glue the visitors to the campaign. This included on-spot prices for best slogan, wherein, visitors were asked to give their suggestions for slogan on ‘Fake’. This section received an overwhelming response with 3000+ people suggesting unique slogans in addition to liking the Facebook page of ‘SIAM fighting fake’. Painting competitions based on the theme of Real v/s Fake organized at various schools across Delhi and Mumbai also saw a heavy response, best out of which were put to display at the three stalls.
