HONG KONG - Wrangler has launched a mobile app to match its positioning as a brand 'with an instinctive nature for adventure and discovery'.

Wrangler's geotargeted app cements positioning as road companion

Developed by TBWA\Digital Arts Network Hong Kong, Wrangler Mileage is a mobile app that once installed, runs silently and creates a personalised map of the user's daily journeys.

"Wrangler has a unique positioning of a 'Companion for the Open Road'," said Vincy Ho, marketing director at Wrangler. "We believe life should be lived instinctually and that adventure is part of it." 

Luke Eid, head of TBWA\Digital Arts Network Hong Kong, added that Wrangler Mileage uses technology in a way that encourages people to physically get out there. "Try going for a walk between 8 pm and 3 am during a full moon and see what happens,” he said.

In the iOS app, an array of geographic variables are tracked, including location, weather, time, land formations, lunar phases and altitude. Algorithms use those data to create an interactive infographic showing the total mileage the user has travelled.
