Miguel Oliveira is bp's leading ambassador, and the challenge was simple to state and hard to pull off: catch customers completely off guard by putting a MotoGP champion behind the pump of an ordinary petrol station.
A real, working bp station, nothing staged or dressed up to look "camera-ready." That rawness was the point: the more ordinary the setting, the bigger the surprise when people realized who was serving them.
Rather than shooting Miguel like a celebrity, the camera leaned into a candid camera style: close, handheld in key moments, capturing real reactions as they happened rather than recreating them after the fact. The goal was for the footage to feel caught, not directed.
The result: genuinely surprised customers in the moment, and a reach that surpassed 2 million people on Instagram, with over 2 thousand new visits to the brand's profile.
