Nissan and AdSmart

Building consumer awareness of a new model

Objectives

Top Line Results

Those exposed to the AdSmart activity were twice as likely to remember seeing the Nissan Qashqai ad despite all other marketing activity including a heavy linear campaign, demonstrating campaign cut through.

Compared to the more generic ABC1 group, the targeted group were more likely to take away key messages from the ad, particularly those around the technology/intelligence of the Nissan Qashqai.

Of those who recalled seeing the Nissan ad, 20% took some type of action as a result. Looking up more information online was the most popular action, with 11% of recallers going on to do so.
