FORD: DESIGNED FOR THE DESERT
Ford wasn’t selling as well as it could in the Southwest region until our strategic, focused creative efforts propelled the region to become the nation’s sales leader.
They needed a brand campaign that also served as a retail marketing campaign, looked like their backyard, and spoke to their residents.
We launched an aspirational continuity campaign titled Designed for the Desert. It highlighted desert-focused vehicles, package-specific features for the specific models advertised, and regional stories that showcased their target demographics, local flora, and RTBs. We also shot running footage and B-roll for post-production for major seasonal promotions such as the Labor Day and Memorial Day Sales Event. As a skeleton crew, we worked hard and pulled it off for less than $400,000.
The following year, we expanded the regional campaign to include all their top-performing vehicles with unique desert narratives, updated the entire product library, and added digital for under a million.
Then, separately but simultaneously, we leveraged the NFL x Ford partnership and crafted a campaign for the Arizona Cardinals.
