EBAY GARAGE 2.0
A “drive-thru” experience that stopped you in your tracks.
At Japfest 2024, we reimagined the eBay shopping experience, transforming it from a virtual screen into a dynamic, 3D world.
In collaboration with EMC & eBay, we transformed the traditional online shopping journey into a hands-on, tangible adventure.


The Challenge:
Engage with eBay’s ‘maintainers & enthusiasts’ audience through an experience, not a stand.
The Idea:
We aimed to weave a "red thread" of creativity that linked eBay’s various activation experiences while tapping into the automotive spirit that embodies Japfest.
The Solution:
Our drive-through experience was designed to deliver tangible value to fans, providing a walkthrough of the eBay platform in a novel, three-dimensional format.
From the moment guests entered their unique registration numbers, they were guided through a journey of discovery — finding the perfect part for their vehicle and engaging in a sensory 'find the right fit' game. This seamless flow ensured a simple yet dynamic user journey that mirrored the ease and accessibility of the eBay platform.

Blending the physical and digital

Fly Through Drive Thru
Transforming an open garage space into a dynamic engaging experience.


Beyond the brief
A direct link back to the core of the event, the eBay Garage had a constant display of the best Japanese vehicles parked directly in front and exclusive to the eBay Garage activation.
This setup was not just about showcasing products but creating a memorable, engaging experience that resonated with eBay’s core audience of maintainers and enthusiasts.
