Audi: Awarded omnichannel campaign
The Brief
During its September 2022 open house, Audi launched the AUDI NOW campaign, with the goal to promote new vehicles already available in dealerships.
In this context, Audi partnered with Extend and Locala to launch an omnichannel media activation strategy. The goal was to increase foot traffic to a selection of 144 French dealerships spread over 3 regions.
The Strategy
Localaudiences: A national campaign targeting local audience segments
- Set up an activation in 3 regions to cover a selection of 144 dealerships in France.
- Identification of high potential areas for each dealership.
- Activation of 2 high-value audience segments: CSP+ and Auto Intentionalists.
Localactivation: An omnichannel activation campaign orchestrated in two stages
1/Awareness and purchase intention:
- Broadcasting of geo-localized audio spots in the catchment areas of Audi dealerships.
- Broadcasting of a mix of animated formats (MPU, Interstitial, Banner) with redirection to the nearest dealership.
2/Purchase:
- SMS retargeting on audio and mobile display presentations to reach a maximum of contacts within the target area.
Localattribution: An omnichannel activation measured by channel
Integration of a dynamic pixel to measure the performance of each media channel in real time.
