Back Market invites French people to change their point of view on the refurbished by hijacking an iconic campaign
Sep. 09, 2019
Last May, Back Market, the French leader in the sale of refurbished high-tech products, launched its new signature: "New is Old". Determined to continue its fight against the culture of perpetual novelty in the world of technology, the start-up dares this time to divert it into a new, offbeat campaign! The objective? Lift the brakes on refurbished purchasing.
52% of French people are still skeptical about the quality and reliability of refurbished products despite the explosion in the market in recent years. lt is against this perception that Back Market fights on a daily basis to fully reassure those who want to put an end to the "always new" trend.
To lead French consumers to "change their point of view on the refurbished", there was no better season than those of the "keynotes", which announce with great fanfare the latest innovations in Silicon Valley. By hijacking the mythical "Shot on iPhone" campaign with the same wit and humor as we know it, Back Market wants to show to the public that the biggest difference between a new smartphone and the same refurbished smartphone on Back Market is its price. A difference that can lead us to- literally- change our point of view.



A new campaign orchestrated by Marcel who gives an additional reason to believe that the new is old...
Back Market is the very first marketplace specialized in refurbished electric and electronic devices. Founded in France in 2014, it is now available in France, Belgium, Spain, ltaly, Germany and the USA.
