As the country headed into a Covid lockdown, Toyota prepared for a dip in sales when stay-at-home orders decreased foot traffic and buyer intent. The leading auto brand turned to its trusted agency, H&L Partners, for new advertising innovations that would maintain sales for Toyota Dealers of Northern California when year-to-date industry sales were down by as much as 15.4%.
H&L Partners, a leader in combining data science and strategic storytelling, took a holistic approach to Toyota’s display, mobile, and linear TV investments. By implementing Amobee’s 4Screen reporting solution, H&L was able to track and verify the performance of its programmatic digital buys combined with scatter and Upfront linear TV investments.
With a unified view of the entire campaign, H&L analysts could clearly understand the relationship between TV and digital frequency at a household level and what drove customers to “locate a dealer,” “view inventory,” “custom build,” and “price inquiries.”
As a result, Toyota’s campaign saw a 300% increase in household action rates, with sizable gains in terms of both online KPIs and market share, including a 5% YoY website KPI increase, and a 2.0% YoY increase in year-to-date market share. Amobee 4Screen also enabled their TV investment and programmatic teams to work together to make optimizations and collaborate more closely on future media plan recommendations.
