Objective

Raise awareness for Toyota’s hybrid vehicles in Turkey, a market that had been slower than others to adopt the new technology by using programmatic targeting capabilities to customize creatives, reach intended audience, and maximize media spend.

Solution

Through Universal McCann, Toyota Turkey teamed up with local DOOH SSP Awarion and Verve DSP (formerly known as Platform161), for dynamic, targeted, and relevant campaign messaging, run on roadside digital billboards in Istanbul. Real-time data feeds around traffic patterns, fuel consumption, noise levels, and currency exchange rates triggered dynamic creatives such as traffic maps, highlighting the unique economic and ecological features of Toyota’s hybrid engine.

Results

  • 44%+ increase in sales, year-over-year
  • 13% of slots bought during peak traffic
  • 10X Higher CTR
