Execution
Phase 1: A press release and presence at the Frankfurt Motorshow (IAA) generated online/offline buzz and awareness.Phase 2: BMW applied the campaign for the launch of the new BMW 6 Series mainly via advertising online and events attracting audience and potential customers to the dealer showroom.Phase 3: BMW called out for action and involvement, integrated the new BMW 1 Series into the communication program and provided BMW dealers the option for exclusive screenings, thus creating an unforgettable experience for their customers.
