Turn rust into revenue with a high-engagement “ugliest car” video or image contest.

The Big Idea

Listeners are invited to show off their vehicle’s “character”; which is a polite way of saying their rusted, dented, filthy, or held-together-by-duct-tape “wrecks.” Using UGC, participants upload a video tour of their beat-up ride. The top five “wrecks” enter a public vote-off to win a grand prize, such as a professional detail, new tires, or even a down payment on a replacement vehicle.

The Elevator Pitch

"We all know someone driving a 'wreck' that has seen better days. Our 'Rate-A-Wreck' contest turns those eyesores into a massive engagement engine. For an auto dealer or service center, this is the ultimate lead-generation tool. It identifies a specific group of people who are statistically overdue for a new car or major repairs, allowing you to reach them with the perfect offer at the perfect time."
