Isuzu sought a more focused and cost-effective route for awareness and engagement to help launch their new 3.5t truck – the Grafter Green.
Traditionally, Isuzu Truck has relied on events and trade print ads to target audiences. With the cost of these being so high and generating low ROI.
Built to the latest Euro 6 emissions standards, the truck meets strict emission zone requirements, but with a load capacity that appeals to a wide range of buyers.

Driven by research
We worked closely with Isuzu Truck’s sales and marketing teams to identify the primary personas that purchase 3.5t trucks and those who’d benefit most from the vehicle’s capabilities. The research highlighted three key target groups: Landscape Gardeners, Arborists  Independent Building & Construction Firms.
The strategy focused on demonstrating how Grafter Green meets the needs of each audience group and their day-to-day work. From the audience insights, a creative theme took shape, centred around creating a clearly identifiable differentiator – an attention-grabbing, interactive visual that would work across paid media ads, owned and paid social channels, a campaign microsite with personalised landing pages and printed collateral / trade press ads.​​​​​​​
