7-ELEVEn
CAR OF THE YEAR
︎
#CARSOF7ELEVEn
7-ELEVEn has has become synonymous with the car community, and In 2021, we started re-sharing UGC of cars at our stores yielding tens of thousands of new followers and an entirely new #CarsOf7ELEVEn community to engage with . Being featured in one of 7-ELEVEn's weekly CARousels quickly became the ultimate honor in the social car community.
In December 2022, we kicked off a contest to let 7-ELEVEn fans vote on the first ever #CarsOf7-ELEVEn Car of the Year. Unbeknownst to them, we had a special prize in store: a fully-produced hype video honoring the winner and their car.
Followers voted between the top 7 performing UGC
