Our pop culture campaign, This Is Not A Drag Race entertained in order to reach a younger car-buying audience who weren’t aware of the Auto Trader brand. Achieving over 5m impressions on a limited budget and timescale, and with the media world mainly in ‘shut down’, our content quenched a thirst for fun in summer 2020 and helped Auto Trader support their diversity goals.
Auto Trader needed a step-change in their content in order to grow brand awareness beyond their existing audience – they chose immediate future because we break the social boring!
“A massive thank you for all your hard work and dedication on what was a challenging but rewarding project. It’s humbling how much we achieved while the world was (and is) upside down, and I feel proud to have worked alongside you all in making it happen.”
– Laura McNally, Head of Content and Social Media, Auto Trader UK
We revved up the audience:
- 5.4m impressions
- 21k interactions
- 90k video views
- +7% followers (all platforms)
- Average engagement 3.17%
Through our paid campaign, we actively excluded existing followers and limited reach to a specific age range to achieve 4.8m impressions from a brand-new audience, in some cases, smashing preconceptions of what an auto brand “is”.
