The Challenge: Generate Leads and Increase Purchase Intent for Ford's New Vehicle Model
Ford needed an innovative way to boost favorability and purchase intent of their Ford Ranger vehicle in the context of increased competition in Thailand.
How could they stand out above the competition, increase demand for their vehicles and capture new leads?
The Solution: A Conversational Ad That Adapts to Customer Preferences in Real-Time
Ford was the first advertiser in Thailand to create an AdLingo conversational campaign engaging potential buyers to discover the Ranger benefits in a personalized way, at scale.
The assistant, built with Spectrm using deep insights from Ford’s media agency GTB, customizes the flow based on the user’s preferences and leads to different micro-conversions. These are tracked both in the bot and on the Ford website to get the full picture of the customer journey and measure the impact.
The Results: 38% Relative Lift in Purchase Intent That Beats the Automotive Industry Benchmark
For a similar cost to regular display this pioneering campaign succeeded in lifting both brand favorability and purchase intent in one single ad.
Micro-conversions results were significantly better than Ford’s benchmark. Moreover in AdLingo’s first-ever Brand Lift Study, Ford achieved outsized lift across key mid-to-lower funnel metrics.
Ford achieved a 54% relative lift in consideration, which is higher than the automotive industry benchmark. They also achieved a 38% relative lift in purchase intent. This was also higher than the automotive industry benchmark. Finally, they also reduced their cost per micro-conversion, a key indicator for Ford’s marketing activities, by 40% compared to the Ford benchmark.
After these great initial results, Ford is now rolling out more conversational assistants with Spectrm and Google AdLingo Ads.
