BMW had over 50+ dealerships independently managing their entire marketing budgets. We were brought in to consolidate all of this under BMW head office. We developed playbooks that looked
at each touch point of marketing that a dealership would do and we standardized this across all 50+ dealerships whilst still allowing each dealership to customize their marketing options based on
their local relevance and local nuances. We rolled out marketing across, TV, Radio, Print, OOH, Digital and PR across all 50 dealerships in several cities across all nine provinces in South Africa
as well as a few markets in BLNS region (Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland)
Reckitt Benckizer had never done a Pan-African campaign that not just looked at marketing but integration with the commercial and trade teams within each country. The campaign involved
multiple stakeholders from various organizations across various countries across the world. The campaign took a year to plan and roll out which happened at the same time across all ten regions
in Africa, as much as this was the highlight of the campaign, what made it more novel was that it drove 37% increase in sales across the 10 countries year on year. The campaign had over 158
Million impressions and reached over 21 million people across 10 countries with over 3.1 Million engagements.
