Overview

Background

If it’s good enough for celebrities, it must be good enough for me.

In a saturated and competitive market, the brand aims to stand out and differentiate itself to strengthen its position. The audience is becoming increasingly demanding, posing challenges to maintain relevance and emotional connection with the public.

Brief: The goal is to develop an advertising campaign that capitalizes on cultural trends and audience preferences. A strategy is sought that not only grabs attention but also fosters emotional connection and identification with the brand. The campaign should revitalize the brand's presence in the market and strengthen its positioning among the target audience.

Objectives: Objectives include increasing brand awareness and consideration, as well as driving audience engagement and interaction. Additionally, the aim is to reinforce the SUV's identity and make a significant impact on the audience.

Idea

Upon realizing that there were hundreds of photographs online featuring the most famous celebrities alongside a Suburban, we decided to leverage this material to our advantage. We replicated the most iconic images and published print ads that, with a QR code, directed users to over 500 images already published on entertainment websites, showcasing our SUV shining alongside Hollywood stars.

Strategy

Data Gathering: Thorough search on online platforms to identify numerous images depicting celebrities alongside a Suburban, ensuring a wide array of visual content.

Target Audience: A broad audience seeking high-value products for status and differentiation, focusing on design, comfort, and safety, particularly while driving and attending social events.

Approach: Utilize captivating celebrity imagery alongside a Suburban to craft compelling print ads, aiming to evoke aspiration and desire among the target audience.

Call to Action: Encourage viewers to scan a QR code with their smartphones to "discover Hollywood's most paparazzi'd star," directing them to a curated collection of over 500 images showcasing the Suburban with celebrities, fostering deeper engagement with the brand

Execution

Implementation: Implementation involves creating print ads with celebrity images and the Suburban, along with designing the QR code. A team will oversee the design, printing, and launch of the ads, as well as managing optimal placement on entertainment websites for online content.

Timeline: Implementation will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks, from initial data collection to launching print ads and setting up online content. This includes image selection, creative design, ad production, and coordination with entertainment websites for landing.

Placement: Print ads will be strategically placed in fashion and entertainment magazines, with a focus on front-page placement to maximize exposure and reach the target audience.

Scale: The strategy will be implemented nationally and internationally, with broad coverage in print and online media to reach a massive audience.

Outcome

Turning a 5-second glance into over 2 minutes of content interaction, impacting over 15 million people.

By directing users to a collection of over 500 images featuring celebrities alongside the Suburban, we significantly increased interest and consideration for the product, resulting in boosted Suburban sales and enhanced brand perception. A clear call to action, such as "discover Hollywood's most paparazzi'd star," is expected to drive website traffic, potentially leading to sales.

Our strategy positively influenced target audience behavior by guiding them to the image collection, thereby increasing desire for the product.

Associating the Suburban with celebrities and positioning it as a coveted accessory among Hollywood elites elevated our brand perception, with positive feedback on our brand's innovation and relevance reinforcing our market position and appeal.
