TOYOTA KIJANG INNOVA

The art of selling without showing

In the year 2009 during the global crisis, lots of industries were hit or affected by the crisis and Indonesia’s automotive market was no exception. For the first time in the last 5 years, Toyota Kijang Innova wouldn’t have any improvement or refreshment change in exterior and interior look; and no new features at all at that time. And the situation gets more challenging because the promotion and marketing budget is being reduced due to the crisis period.

Strategy

Basically the same “last year” vehicle but need to be sold at a “new price” plus quite limited budget for marketing & promotion. What a combo challenge in one period!!

Started with one basic question, triggering and leading us to one great idea solution.
“If the model is the same as the previous, should we have to show it again to the market?”
Plus strengthen by the fact in the market that Toyota Kijang Innova heritage from the beginning (late ’70s) is “Indonesian Family’s car”.

So, we decided to develop and create an unordinary automotive campaign; a very simple look campaign with a clear and straight message about family values. Reminder about family values nowadays, and a subtle connection to how Kijang Innova also becomes part of the family.
Basically, it was a witty and cynical sentence (comment) from each family member that talks about the family’s values, without showing the presence of the car at all.

The campaign started thru the OOH channel in some areas & cities, then supported continuously with a tiny size series of print ads, just like “quotes of the week” on the biggest newspaper in Indonesia each week. Also supported with digital ad placement and during “Indonesian Family days” in June, we create on-ground activities on the road to spread the message, “To Give the best for the family” (Beri yang terbaik untuk keluarga).

"Inspirasi Indonesia" National Exhibition

This remarkable campaign also chosen and participated as part of the Indonesian Advertising Association Agencies (PPPI) booth, during the Indonesian Creativity National Exhibition “Inspirasi Indonesia” in that period.

Result

It was a campaign that disrupted the market. As a market leader, it was quite challenging for Toyota, especially with their Kijang Innova's brand to do this kind of campaign. But it paid off, and the sales volume during that period was beyond expectation even though with global crisis hit, also strengthen the brand value as Indonesian Family's car plus in terms of creative production was the lowest cost we ever did for the whole year campaign.
