SUMMARY
The cards have been stacked against minivans since their decline in 2016, as preferences shifted to more stylish alternatives to the clichéd soccer mom-mobile. The goal was to revitalize the brand by addressing the needs of busy parents seeking solutions to their chaotic lives. The results were impressive: a remarkable 48% sales increase year-to-date compared to 2022, creative effectiveness surpassing industry standards (119 vs. 96) and record-high brand funnel measures. Pacifica’s “Vanlightenment” illustrates how meeting genuine consumer needs can revitalize a brand, even in a competitive market.
