WHERE THERE’S INSIGHT, THERE’S OPPORTUNITY
Insight:
True innovation gets lost in the clutter because there is too much “innovation” being marketed and promoted.
Opportunity: Di erentiate Nissan from the competition by communicating how their innovations are the only ones that count because they make MCMs’ lives better.
8
Insight:
ere is a disconnect between how Nissan wants to be perceived in terms of innovation and how MCMs actually perceive the brand.
Opportunity:
Create a deeper connection between Nissan and the MCMs by rede ning innovation and the brand in terms the target can relate to.
Insight:
Despite their di erences, MCMs share the same important cultural values.
Opportunity:
Focus on messaging that incorporates these shared values while addressing di erences in media selections.
We knew we needed to look at innovation di erently – not from a product point of view, but from a customer point of view.

e Innovation For All Campaign Evolution
Nissan talks about what innovation is.
Nissan talks about how innovation works.

But Nissan never talks about why innovation is important. And Millennials want to know why. Never before has Nissan explained why innovation is so important to MCMs, not until now at least. Recently, innovation has come to stand for so many technologies; from the wheel to the new Facebook timeline. And now these MCMs are le struggling to decide what innovation even means anymore. In fact, when we asked what that word meant in a survey, they all replied with a textbook de nition. “Innovation” doesn’t speak to them in a personal or unique way anymore. So what does Nissan do with a problem like this? Nissan rede nes innovation on MCMs’ own terms; it rede nes innovation as advancements and technology that bene t, simplify, and ease their overcomplicated lives rather than adding more stress to them with chargers, updates, networks, and syncing. Our campaign positions Nissan as the automotive leader in innovation by de ning it not in terms of technology, but in terms of what is really important to MCMs.
So we knew this positioning strategy was sound, but we still needed to test the best way to say it.

We launch in April with an attention-getting four-page gatefold in six magazines. e gatefold introduces our “rede ning innovation� strategy and sets the tone for the remainder of the campaign. is is the rst step necessary to shift the perception of MCMs.
Our headline is honest and will get readers to turn the page. Once they do, they will see copy that is surprising yet informative.
PRINT: MAGAZINE GATEFOLD
We run two di erent versions of the insert to speak to both sides of MCMs. One version, focused on product features, appeals to the rational side and runs in magazines such as Car and Driver, Wired, and Inc. e other version uses an emotional appeal and is shown in leisure magazines such as Game Informer, Entertainment Weekly, and InStyle.
