Our biggest reward though is the increased sales success that our client, Suzuki South Africa, has achieved." - Trevor Van Rensburg, Commercial Director at Spitfire Inbound
Masterclassing currently hosts almost 150 events a year on five continents across the globe. The Effective Digital Marketing Awards are to highlight campaigns and solutions that deliver excellent business strategy, with innovative, effective implementation and that lead to exceptional results. The award for the Most Effective Automotive Campaign was won for the launch of the new Suzuki Swift in South Africa.
The holistic strategy - #AllTheRightFeels - connected with our market and created a launch campaign that pushed the boundaries, reaching and engaging with more South Africans than ever before. The result? An increase of 43.35% in the sales of the Suzuki Swift in a declining market.
