Challenge

Taiwan has the highest divorce rate in Asia and the lowest birth rate in the world. “Marriage or not” and “having children or not” are both hot topics on social media and are closely related to buying houses.

Marriage in Taiwanese culture also has the meaning of “build a home,” and newlyweds are an important driving force in house buying. Therefore, Sinyi Realty, the leading brand in Taiwan’s real estate industry, wants to deeply explore the marriage and fertility issues that the target audience cares about, and thus convey the brand spirit of Sinyi Realty, the meaning of trust to a happy family.

Solution

Create Social Buzz and Advance Involvement of Sales Representatives

Before NISSAN Taiwan can officially announce ALL NEW SENTRA’s complete spec and car viewing, we combined the car’s unique selling points with trending social topics and produced multiple marketing materials. We also loop in dealerships and sales representatives in advance so that they are able contact prospective customers first.

ENTERTAINING CONTENT

With in-depth research and observations to find trending topics, we generated series of social posts playing with trending topics, while adapted a popular Taiwan hip-hop song that embeds the car’s USPs to draw in public’s attention within a short period of time.

REDEFINE MEDIA

Refined dealership sales’ roles and saw them as individualized we media platforms that we can utilize, we involved and co-created with NISSAN’s dealership sales throughout the campaign, even in the music video’s making. In the end, we not only looped in the sales channels in advance, but also utilized them as media channels to directly interact with potential customers.

TAILORMADE OMNICHANNEL

After mapping out media resources we have on hand, we utilized different media platforms to deliver different contents/messages to different target audiences – Existing NISSAN owners; Young generation and C-segment potential customers.
