APRIL FOOLS’: HGREG LAUNCHES AN AI-DRIVEN SERVICE THAT ALLOWS CUSTOMERS TO DESIGN THEIR OWN CAR

Doral, Fla., April 2nd, 2024 — HGreg, a long-time disruptor in the automotive world and big lover of humor, made waves this weekend with its 2024 April Fool’s stunt – AI- generated cars. The company’s latest digital campaign featured an invitation allowing customers to visit its website to create and order their made-to-measure – bespoke – car of their dreams. Using Artificial Intelligence and a short series of questions, the system swiftly generated a rendition of the customer’s perfect car, which was then presented for purchase – along with confirmation of the prank.

“We’ve been investing in the customer experience across our dealerships for more than 30 years,” says Harry Kasparian, Chief Marketing Officer for HGreg. “So you can be sure our team is experimenting with AI to take it to the next level. While this year’s AI- inspired April Fool’s initiative remained humorous and lighthearted as in years past, AI- driven innovation is right up ahead for us and our industry.”

Launched on the morning of April 1st, more than 10 000 cars were generated on the platform in the first day, with more users still creating new cars daily. HGreg recorded a 300% traffic increase to its website that day. The campaign was viewed by more than 1.5 million people on HGreg’s social media platforms and included the participation of various influencers.
