RAV4 She's a Beauty

Category: LEAD GENERATION  Award: SILVER

SPECIAL HONOURS AWARD  Category: BEST ART DIRECTION

When RAV4 was first introduced in 1995 nothing like it had been seen before.  RAV4 was so unique it created a whole new market niche - the small urban off-roader.

RAV4's success didn't go unnoticed by the competition.  Soon this market sector became flooded with competitors anxious to cash in on the demand for these new urban recreational vehicles.  RAV4 was also coming under pressure from sales of imported Japanese used vehicles - including much cheaper imported used RAV4s! 

The challenge was to revitalise interest, capitalise on the heritage of RAV4 and again reset the benchmark it had earlier set for styling and performance.  Knowing the fashion-conscious audience would be impressed by the new vehicle, the proposition was targeted at current private drivers of RAV4s.  Characterised as confident, adventurous, image-conscious and highly brand aware,  "You'll get noticed in a RAV4" had sure-fire appeal.   A week before the TV launch of the new model, prospects received a distinctive box in the mail, containing an empty branded sunglasses case.  Inside the case was a letter inviting them to test drive the new RAV4 and receive a free pair of limited edition RAV4 sunglasses.

An unprecedented 41% of the prospects contacted took a test drive.
