Journey into Herstory
Built for Emirati Women's Day, the campaign turned Toyota cars into storytelling platforms: geo-targeted audio played through Yango Maps when a driver approached a UAE street named after a prominent Emirati woman, backed by radio traffic announcements and social content. It took the Audio and Radio Grand Prix at Dubai Lynx 2025.
- The brief
- UAE drivers around Emirati Women's Day, whose daily routes include streets named after influential Emirati women.
- The idea
- When a Toyota driver neared such a street, Yango Maps played a geo-targeted audio story about the woman behind the name, with radio traffic bulletins and social posts alongside.
- What to borrow
- Location-triggered audio can turn existing infrastructure, street names, into a medium, delivering a story at the exact moment it is relevant.
