Brief Explanation

The billboard carried a headline activating a behavior from the target to experience the brand – to test drive the Range Rover Evoque.

The Brief

Car billboards which show a picture of a car on a billboard are dime a dozen in automotive advertising. Unfortunately, being a cliché, these do not move the consumer to go to the dealership to test drive the car (which is the best way to make them buy it, having experienced it). The idea’s objective: make the target test drive the car.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

The Test Drive Billboard increased the number of test drives 10 times over, compared to the number of test drives from the showroom.

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

The idea made it easier and more fun for the target to test drive the Range Rover Evoque. He doesn’t have to go to the dealership; he can actually go to the billboard near him, and drive down the car for a thrilling spin.
