Execution

“I Like Kia” spot on TV available on portable platforms OOH and print created awareness that drove mass engagement to the Facebook global page.

Fans had the opportunity to tell us ‘what they liked’ and ‘what inspires them’, in order for Kia to create better designed cars in the future: - They created interactive personalised videos based on their personality and Facebook 'likes' through Like Lab: Kia employees analysed what consumers liked, so that they could produce better Kia designed vehicles in the future- Kia’s global brand ambassador, Rafael Nadal, appeared in a video on TV showing what he likes with the Facebook 'like' button. After watching the video, fans could play the game “Guess What Nadal Likes.” - I Like Kia’ became incorporated in company culture in different videos: All Kia employees said ‘what that they like’ in Christmas and Kia dealers.

Strategy

Kia has improved the quality and design of their cars unrecognisably from 5 years ago. Despite this, there is a consumer product perception gap; KIA is still perceived by many drivers as unemotional and budget, producing box-like cars.

Our challenge was to upgrade Kia’s messaging to be more consumer-focused and aspirational, creating an emotional connection with drivers.Our future buyers live in converging digital world, using the internet as their main place of research. They don’t trust in traditional advertising; instead, 68% prefer their peer’s recommendations and like to be admired by friends for their smart purchasing declaring themselves fans of the things that they like.New Kia cars are inspired by our future drivers likes: is the fuel that influences Kia to move forward, challenging to enter into new frontiers of automotive technology and design that makes people around the globe to say : 'I like Kia'.
