Project story
Bolt
A city experienced through a trusted point of view.TIMA’s public campaign record pairs Bolt with travel filmmaker Tayo Aina for a creator-led mobility story in Mombasa.The assignment
What had to move.
The business job.
Increase awareness of Bolt’s role in everyday city movement through a story that felt native to the destination.
Challenge → response
The work begins with the problem.
A functional ride message could easily disappear into category sameness. The work needed to make mobility tangible without turning the city into an advertisement.
TIMA used a travel creator’s established visual language to place the service inside a broader experience of Mombasa.
Campaign system
How it was built.
- 01
Lead with the city
Mombasa provided the narrative and visual context; the mobility product supported the journey.
- 02
Choose an authored perspective
Tayo Aina brought an existing audience, a recognisable travel-film style and cultural credibility to the story.
- 03
Integrate the product
Bolt appeared as part of how the creator moved through and experienced the city rather than as a detached product demonstration.

What the evidence says
The useful lesson.
Let the product support the story

Place is a creative asset
The location gave the work texture, specificity and a reason to watch.
