Boundless has launched a truly South African campaign for Engen Xtreme Oils and Lubricants, a range formulated right here for the wild, wonderful, and sometimes downright ridiculous conditions cars face every day. At the heart of the campaign are the pros in overalls, mechanics, and shop stewards, who fix cars that shouldn’t still be driving, in conditions no car should survive. This campaign salutes them with Xtremely South African Oil for SA’s Pros.
‘We didn’t just want to talk to mechanics,’ said Roanna Williams, Chief Creative Officer at Boundless. ‘We wanted to land up in their workshop, tune them properly, and leave them grinning. The humour is theirs. The stories are theirs. And the respect? Long overdue.’
From a bakkie outrunning a charging elephant to a spinning 325is and a tiny car proudly wearing a ‘PORSH’ plate, the campaign reflects the full spectrum of South African extremes. It will run across regional radio, hyper-targeted OOH in mechanic-heavy zones, and full shop takeovers.
Melissa Graham, Indirect Marketing Manager for Lubricants at Engen, added: ‘This isn’t advertising from the top down, it’s from the inside out. Mechanics know what good oil needs to do. We needed to remind them that we made this range for them. Boundless helped us do it with humour, heart, and authenticity.’
In true Boundless style, the campaign proves that even the grittiest stories can be full of pride, laughter, and love, especially when they’re made for the people who keep South Africa’s most loved cars running.
