Media Placements
The new Mirai marketing campaign follows the vehicle's innovative lead with a media approach that utilizes precise audience and location-based targeting, applying zip code, behavioral and contextual targeting tactics.
High reach, data-driven partners such as Amazon, WIRED and Hearst Digital Media will build awareness and consideration in the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets. While Asian-American in-language portals such as Sina Weibo, India.com and Apple Daily aim to increase purchase intent specifically among the Asian-American customer. A targeted, full-funnel approach for social channels will align relevant Mirai creative to geo-targeted audiences.
Print and out-of-home content includes billboard as well as electric vehicle (EV) charging station placement. The EV station placement informs drivers that the Mirai is a viable, zero-emission vehicle that boasts a range of more than 300 miles and fuels in about 5 minutes vs. longer charging times for pure battery electric vehicles.
The campaign will run through December 31st in Los Angeles and San Francisco markets, where Mirai is currently available for sale or lease.
