Mercedes-Benz Canada
When Mercedes-Benz Canada wanted to engage with Chinese customers in Canada, they relied on LAT to help them launch a Tencent Moments ad on the popular Chinese app, WeChat.
Working in partnership with Mercedes-Benz' global advertising agency, LAT started by registering an official WeChat account for Mercedes-Benz Canada, which is a requirement for advertising on Moments. Our team then opened an ad account and coordinated the placement of a video ad, aligned with Lunar New Year. LAT coordinated the account approval process with Tencent, helped define the advertising demographics, monitored the campaign and reported on results. We also created high quality and graphically appealing content in the form of four articles about their vehicles to ensure visitors would find the WeChat official account appealing.
During the one-month campaign, the ads achieved 991,757 impressions, 9,333 video clicks and 1,152 new followers. In addition, there were 108 direct inquiries, most of them from people interested in making a purchase, asking questions about the models, or seeking maintenance advice.
