Case Study
Summary
In early 2009, whilst most brands desperately discounted to raise interest from GFC-bitten consumers, Nissan bravely launched its 370Z sports car at full price – in fact, 7% higher than in 2008. This case proves how a unique brand truth can inspire a truly breakthrough campaign – „370 reasons to take the wheel of a Nissan Z‟ with innovative never done before media channels – namely augmented reality – that get consumers emotionally and behaviourally involved. The result was an unprecedented 150% increase in the number of cars sold resulting in a 630% increase in ROMI – all during a major economic downturn.
