Execution
With the ideal canvas in RR3, Lexus delivered three game mode sponsorships featuring a virtual test drive & access to a custom, Lexus-branded track. Users progressed faster through gameplay & kept the free car in their fleet even after the campaign ended, bringing huge value to players & perpetual branding for Lexus.
To drive additional excitement, nationwide Lexus dealerships were given access to a special, Lexus-only version of the game – giving them a cool sales tool to offer a unique experience at Lexus dealerships.
The program was amplified with in-game reward-based media & social posts that drove additional engagement.
