← Toyota Parts and Service: Data-Driven Meta Campaigns

Our objective was to transform the mundane and often overlooked topic of vehicle maintenance into an engaging and entertaining subject for Toyota owners. Leveraging sales data and strategic targeting, we aimed to increase engagement and drive service appointments, particularly during key promotional periods like Toyotathon.

  • The creative team crafted funny and relatable scenarios depicting common maintenance issues and the benefits of using Toyota Parts and Service.

  • We timed our ad runs to coincide with significant promotional periods such as Toyotathon and other holiday-related events. This strategy helped maximize visibility and engagement during peak times when customers were more likely to be considering vehicle maintenance.

  • We implemented a mix of long-running ads and shorter, time-sensitive campaigns. This approach ensured continuous engagement with our audience while allowing us to capitalize on promotional events.

Creative Development:

The creative team crafted funny and relatable scenarios depicting common maintenance issues and the benefits of using Toyota Parts and Service.

To manage costs effectively, we utilized client photography from Toyota service centers as well as stock imagery, rather than doing monthly content shoots which we did for CPG (consumer packaged goods) clients.

This approach proved to be cost-efficient without compromising the quality and effectiveness of our ads.

Targeting and Data Utilization:

We analyzed sales data to identify the most common Toyota models currently on the road. This data allowed us to tailor our messages to the specific needs and preferences of our target audience.

In addition, we timed our ad runs to coincide with significant promotional periods such as Toyotathon and other holiday-related events. This strategy helped maximize visibility and engagement during peak times when customers were more likely to be considering vehicle maintenance.
