Kwik Fit has been awarded a Gold at the British Arrows, one of the UK’s leading awards for excellence in moving image advertising. The tyre and automotive service provider took the top prize in the automotive category for its recent advertising campaign, developed in partnership with creative agency VCCP.
The winning campaign is built around a simple, memorable message: that customers will "drive away happy every time" after visiting a Kwik Fit centre or using its mobile fitting services. The ad takes a surreal and humorous approach, aiming to highlight the reasons behind Kwik Fit’s consistently high customer satisfaction.
Directed by Harold Einstein, a filmmaker renowned for his comedic storytelling style, the campaign features exaggerated and unexpected scenarios to show how customers benefit not just from the technical service, but also from the professionalism and care offered by Kwik Fit’s staff.
The campaign is being broadcast across multiple platforms, including television, video-on-demand, digital out-of-home advertising, radio, and online channels.
This latest creative direction marks a clear shift in tone for Kwik Fit. Moving away from product-led messaging, the company’s focus is now on humanising the brand and building trust by highlighting the knowledge and expertise of its technicians. It also draws attention to Kwik Fit’s advanced automotive services, including ADAS sensor recalibration and mobile fitting, which many customers may not yet associate with the brand.
Winning gold at the British Arrows underlines the strength of Kwik Fit’s marketing strategy and its commitment to raising awareness of its evolving services and standards.
The British Arrows Awards have long been recognised as a benchmark for creativity and effectiveness in UK advertising, particularly in sectors like automotive where clear messaging and brand differentiation are essential.
This award not only reflects the creative success of Kwik Fit’s campaign but also points to a growing trend within the automotive aftermarket: the increasing importance of brand trust and human connection in a competitive service environment.
