The Campaign

Dacia presents Dacia Family Project, the contest that convinced Udinese supporters’ to start a family by giving away a seasonal ticket for them and the future supporter too, in order to grow a new generation of fans.

Campaign Success

From September 2015, Dacia stimulated the Udinese supporters to start a family with a direct campaign: a special pregnancy test, distributed out of the stadium that in case of positive result showed the black&white stripes of Udinese Calcio. It also created a web app to match the calendar of fertile days with the Udinese’s fixture calendar that was supported by a display campaign focused on Udinese supporters. To increase communicability through the target, were also made some video inscriptions where the Udinese football players thank their fans for the future supporter. At the end of the contest, for the first time in the Italian football, during the Udinese-Napoli match a whole sector of the stadium was reserved to the winners: more than 100 pregnant women populated the stadium and 20 of them lined up with the football players, with everyone's eyes on them.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Dacia Family Project is a promotional campaign that utilizes Dacia’s sports engagement in Italy’s Serie A football league. Being the main sponsor of professional football team Udinese, Dacia is not simply seeking to increase brand awareness amongst sports enthusiasts. The low cost family cars manufacturer uses this sponsorship to build and strengthen its brand positioning amongst families, in order to launch a special edition dedicated to them. At the end, by pushing Udinese supporters to start a family Dacia hasn’t just increased the number of Udinese supporters, but its target too.

Dacia is a low cost range of family cars made for people with limited economic resources. Hence Dacia wanted to take advantage of its Serie A sponsorship with Udinese Football Team to increase brand affinity with families, starting with sports enthusiasts. In order to clean the ground for the launch of a new limited series dedicated to families
