With the C4 Instabomb campaign, [Citroën's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citroen-c3-aircross) C4 Lounge proves that it's a fun car as well as a safe one. The C4 Lounge has a reverse camera that was made the central focus of the C4 Instabomb campaign, targeting the most influential [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-driving-game) users in Brazil and any time these people posted a photobomb, the 'C4Instabomb' account would make a comment, explaining how these unexpected situations could be avoided with C4 Lounge's reverse camera.

The C4Instabomb account on Instagram is full of pictures and more information on the car, which got a lot of traffic from being on these highly popular photo posts.

Although the campaign did not interact with pictures as well as something like the [Dallas Pets Alive! 'Muttbombing' campaign](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dallas-pets-alive), the results managed to up the number of requests to test drive the C4 Lounge by 15%.
