ENGAGEMENT TACTIC
Real Talk Podcast/Webinar Here's a great opportunity to create a "REAL"-branded series. Suggested repackaging existing webinar series under this umbrella, bring different combos of experts together for hot topics, or make it interactive with Q/A sessions with our clients. This would also allow us to introduce and promote our own experts as SMEs and influencers in the industry.

COX AUTOMOTIVE 'LET'S MAKE IT REAL' BRAND CAMPAIGN

OBJECTIVE:
Coming off a heavy COVID crisis-themed campaign, we needed to lighten things up and inject even more positivity into the Automotive industry. Step one: create a theme and messaging that resonates for our key client segments. We’ll give it meaning and make it actionable. We want to reinforce their choice to work with us as well as open them up to new solutions and ideas brought to them through Cox Automotive.

SINGLE MOST PERSUASIVE IDEA:
Cox Automotive brings people, innovation and insights together to create solutions that help our clients thrive.

This will carry through to 4 pillars that we’ll stand up throughout the campaign:

  • People (Employees, customers, compassion, empathy)

  • Innovation (Technology built for the future)

  • Insights (Uncompromised research and information)

  • Solutions (Brands, products, offers)

Real Data & Insights | Real Innovations | Real Stories | Real Guidance | Real Solutions | Real Results
