The challenge
Dacia wanted to generate a buzz around its Sandero and Sandero Stepway models.
The core challenge was bringing Dacia’s brand story – “Everything you need, nothing you don’t” – to life, emphasising its credentials in simplicity and functionality while showcasing an outdoorsy spirit.
Objectives
- Increase awareness of Dacia Sandero and Stepway models with car buyers
- Drive consideration by aligning with key attributes like value, robustness, simplicity
- Establish Dacia as perfect for outdoor adventures across the UK
- Reach broad audiences of parents and car enthusiasts
Deliverables
We wanted to produce a campaign that would position the Sandero and Stepway as the ideal companions for effortless trips across the UK countryside. To achieve this, we created…
- An interactive outdoor adventure guide featuring more than 200 destinations across the UK, tailored
for families, couples and solo travellers. The guide allowed users to search for destinations by their geographic region and the age of any children in their group. - Dual social media campaigns across Top Gear, Radio Times, Good Food and MadeForMums, carefully crafted to reach as many people as possible. For this we tapped into our audiences by interests, including car fans, families and travel/outdoor enthusiasts.
- Digital audience targeted, high impact takeovers on MadeForMums and Top Gear sites to reach parents and car enthusiasts.
“Dacia is synonymous with outdoor adventure. The Immediate partnership helped us showcase this passion as well as engage with the right audiences for Sandero; people who enjoy spending quality time with families and friends. The results were obvious and the activity not only drove awareness for our brand, but helped to showcase what our brand truly stands for.”
