Background

Toyota is one of the world’s strongest brands. Yet, in a time of rapid change and fierce competition, they need to do everything they can to maintain their leadership position and connect with new generations of customers. Add in a global pandemic and fluctuating automotive sales – the threats to this century-old business are myriad. Where there are threats, there are also great opportunities. When Toyota’s Japanese headquarters set a new global vision – to transform from a car company to a mobility company and achieve ‘mobility for all’, how global regions chose to respond was their decision to make. Transforming the brand to become a mobility company, and better connect with tomorrow’s customers was the mission. The objective? To unite all 17 highly diverse and unique Toyota APAC markets, to create a stronger, more relevant, and more resilient regional brand.
