Objectives

Through Snapchat, BMW is expanding its marketing activities through an innovative and playful medium that is especially popular with creative, tech-savvy individuals. As the newest member of the BMW X family, the BMW appeals to the young and young-at-heart, extroverted and active customers who value individuality and lifestyle. Innovative apps like Snapchat are an integral part of their digital world.

Strategy & solution

The strategical approach was to synchronize awareness campaigns with a strong traffic and engagement layer.
“Be the one who dares” campaign used a wide range of digital communications channels to reach BMW fans, in line with the brand’s new focus on a more youthful “Sheer Driving Pleasure”. It included classical display programmatic (e.g. New OPPA), audio (e.g. Spotify, RMB), video (e.g.Teads), and social media (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Tinder and Snapchat).
Snapchat is revealed itself as a great platform to turn the world into a showroom with the power of augmented reality. From snap ads, users could swipe to unlock the lens.
