NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HONDA DEALERS
In 2008 we pitched the Honda Dealers of Northern California– a regional group of over 70 Honda dealers with the campaign: “Ask Any Honda Driver”. I was Associate Creative Director at the time. The campaign won the business and began a 10-year relationship that continues today. The advertising for the Honda Dealers is a great example of an integrated advertising campaign. Traditional and digital advertising, along with social outreach centered around monthly events which drive traffic . The relationship with the Honda Dealers has been very successful. Spending and sales have more than doubled since 2008.
