Background

NISSAN LEAF is one of the pioneers within electric vehicle segment. Since 10 years NISSAN LEAF is produced and since 2018 the 2nd Generation is available. Problem: no-one in Germany knows that there is a NISSAN LEAF. And on top other competitors launched their electric vehicles. Especially VW launched its VW ID 3 with a massive media spend to position itself (after Diesel scandal) as EV provider #1. As NISSAN is a rather small import brand in Germany, we cannot outspend the biggest national car brand VW, so we needed a creative solution to a) increase Awareness for the LEAF and b) position NISSAN LEAF as Pioneer in the electric vehicle segment.

Describe the strategy

We set up a digital targeted campaign with two pillars: digital media with relevant reach targeting - E mobility/ Car Interested audiences Hijack strategy targeting E mobility/ Car Interested audiences with VW affinity. This digital approach only was key to increase awareness within a relevant target group, as in the end NISSAN wants to sell this cars.

Describe the execution

As the audiences were clearly defined the campaign was implemented with: - Pre-Rolls - Relevant E-Mobility Advertorials - And Facebook Video Page Posts for the E-mobility/ Car Interested audiences to gain relevant reach. And for the VW affine ones: - Programatic Pre-Rolls - In Stream ads on youtube And also the Start date of the campaign was chosen with an eye on what happened on the IAA. Campaign started 09.09., so in parallel with the IAA 2019, and ended 30.09.2019
