THE FAN FLEET

One of the key points in marketing is to understand a customers pain points, and then demonstrate how your product or service avoids this for the customer. Recently at the Australian Open we saw Kia do just that!

Partnering with Uber, Kia was offering tennis fans free rides to the grand slam in their Fan Fleet. The Kia fleet included 30 of their new Seltos small SUVs, a new SUV designed to keep you comfortable and connected.

Not only was this a great way to re-frame Kia's sponsorship of the Australian Open, but to also promote and build awareness around the new Seltos.

In conjunction with Kia's other sponserships at the Australian Open, they have seen:

More than 28 million Kia-related impressions across all social channels (including media)
More than 12 million impressions on defined hashtag #kiaAO alone (all earned media)
More than 100,000 visits to Kia-owned competitions
6000 new Facebook ‘likes’ generated.

Proving that tradition marketing can still generate digital leads, and newer forms of marketing can have impacts above and beyond expectations.

Why AI belongs in the passenger seat (not behind the wheel) of your marketing

Clients often ask us the same honest question: “Can’t we just use AI to write our posts, generate our imagery, and compose our jingles?” It’s an understandable reaction.
Generative AI tools make content feel almost free to produce. But as the digital landscape shifts, cutting corners to save a quick dollar is proving to be one of the riskiest decisions a business can make.

The long read vs. the fast scroll and how this has changed

In the mid-to-late 20th century, print magazines and newspapers were absolute powerhouses. Because readers sat down with a publication deliberately on a train, at the kitchen table, or in a waiting room and advertisers had a captive audience. Some of these commercials or print ads might still be a hit today, while others might get someone fired if they were proposed in a client meeting. But they're certainly entertaining
