What’s your thing?
That's the question on Kijiji's mind in its first integrated campaign, which eschews product-driven creative for something emotional.

Who knew Kijiji could be more than a place to sift through used car listings and second-hand couches? It seems the classifieds site is positioning itself as a bit of a matchmaker.
And no, we’re not talking about connecting a guy with the cute brunette he locked eyes with on the Bloor/Danforth subway line going eastbound. We’re talking about matching people with something they love, and something for sale on the site — specifically, something that can bring their passion to life.
The brand, with the help of Montreal’s Cloudraker, created a series of TV and online spots (making this its first-ever integrated campaign) that is something of an anthem for Canadians looking for a second-hand record player to play the music they love or a stand up bass to make the music they love. The spots also include a young boy using newly found items such as a selfie stick and Go-Pro while skateboarding, as well as a young woman taking her steed out for a ride in her new-but-old saddle, which she picked up from, you guessed it, a listing on Kijiji.

Online, the brand is interviewing and filming various Canadians showing off their “thing” they love and can now do with the “thing” they purchased on the site, such as hula-hooping, playing the didgeridoo and, our personal favourite, old wooden doors (which the guy in the video below turns into art).
