Vehicle owners were selected who represented the exact target market demographic as specified by the magazine; namely full time, employed males who had an overriding passion for cars and drove vehicles befitting the image of a sports enthusiast.

In addition, they had to be regular, high mileage drivers who travelled on highways, frequented shopping malls and lived an active lifestyle. In this particular instance, they also had to own black cars within the specific range of models selected by the client.

Tightly targeted consumers

The campaign allowed the consumer magazine to reach additional tightly targeted consumers and create impact for the brand.

Brandyourcar.com executive head of sales, Jeff Ostrom says, "The vehicles that we drew on from within our database, travel an average of 1 500km per month and spend 10 hours per week in traffic on demanding and often eventful highways. These vehicles are highly visible and present the opportunity of 'breaking through the clutter'."

What a waste. The media selection is good but there is no idea here. I feel it would have been better if they had taken the Car Magazine articles from the edition that reviewed the exact wrapped car and wrapped the cars in the actual review article. Get people to read about the cars on the cars. You could have still had the large logo on the side. Posted on 11 Jul 2012 17:57

Yeah I tend to agree with you mate. Just slapping a logo on car does little to justify the exercise. There has to be a point. . . Posted on 12 Jul 2012 08:24
