SUMMARY
In a world dominated by auto brands with big budgets, an underdog wanted to stand out.
Nissan turned up to Super Bowl LVI with a commercial built just like a blockbuster movie.
We generated excitement just like they do in theaters: a celebrity cast, posters, trailers, even action figures.
And the results were… explosive:
#1 auto ad recall, #1 auto video views,#1 auto online search,#2 auto social conversations.
In under a month, Nissan got their Hollywood ending, climbing from 6th to 5th place in terms of market share.
