- Hello Inspirators
Brand Positioning concept for MINI CEE - To change the perception of MINI in Central Europe we have created the Inspired by Mini concept. It positions the car as an element of pure inspiration, something that gets you going in the morning, a brand that puts great ideas in your head and gives you the strength to shoot for the stars. 10 local inspiring individuals were given MINI cars for a longer period of time with a short brief: let this product inspire you and then create something original. We are currently still working with Inspirators, presenting their ideas instead of just advertising.concept development: milan šemelákvisual development: rudolf hausleitnerthe Inspirators: Peter Spurný (photography), Martin Žltý Jenča (design), Martin Kahan (design), Jana Mihálová (illustration), Zuzana Šemelák (urban design), Michal Konrád (chef), Katarína Baťalíková (interior design), Štefan Lelovič (director)

The main idea was to come up with something more than just crappy product presentations no one cares about. Our team has designed and created a little world of outdoor advertising, a virtual tool and the first slovak amusement park - OOHLAND. It's really an amusement park with attractions and characters, but most of all it presents outdoor at its best. Here you can find all products and learn about their advantages, the park is filled with videos, case studies, research and facts which prove that out of home really works.
