People Who Know Use Valvoline
Valvoline, the fourth-ranked motor oil, sought growth in the Do-It-Yourself segment. The insight that customers are more persuaded by credible endorsees than by technical claims, led to using auto mechanics in advertising. Commercials and motorsports sponsorship helped Valvoline reach #3 (#1 in the most recent quarter), outperforming all leading brands in sales and share.

The campaign dramatically reversed long running sales declines, spurred trial and achieved growth that was sustained despite enormous competitive spending.
