SUMMARY
If there’s one thing Subaru is known for beyond award-winning vehicles, it’s dogs. So when Subaru needed a way to capture attention during a 9½-month vehicle launch drought, we turned to our four-legged friends – establishing National #MakeADogsDay to rally dog lovers around Subaru during our quietest month.
The initiative was a raging success. The campaign catapulted Subaru conversation volume to 1.5x that of a launch, donated ~$100,000 to ASPCA, and helped 2,500+ shelter animals get adopted/receive medical care. Most importantly, Subaru beat October sales YOY.
