GENEVA – Marc 11, 2013:

Exclusive to Renault fans
During the Geneva Motor Show, Renault is offering its fans around the world an opportunity to vote for a personalised Captur in their country’s colours.

Via an application hosted on Renault’s international Facebook page, fans can vote for their favourite version of Captur from a selection of personalised versions in the colours of various countries: Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Britain, France, Germany, India, Italy, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. The stunning personalisations were produced with Renault Design.

After the vote, a real version of the winning personalised Captur will be made and put on show at various events throughout the year. The result of the vote will be revealed on Facebook on 18th March.

A strategy of engagement
