Warning! New-car-smell inside

Goodby Silverstein & Partners created a bright yellow ad scented with new car smell for the company hoping that as people test-drive and buy cars, the smell of new car will trigger subconscious memories about the Liberty Mutual ad they previously saw. With smell being the sense most closely connected with memory formation, the insurance company is banking on its scented ad to jog people’s memories when considering auto insurance.

Liberty Mutual scented ad

 

The agency used a print ad that would give people a Pavlovian response of sorts to catch car buyers at the moment that matters most. The copy reads “If you’re thinking about a new car, think about Liberty Mutual. We customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need.”

The ad will run in the April 28 issue of the Chicago Sun Times.
