The Challenge: Educate Consumers About New Electric Vehicle Model and Book Test Drives

Renault France wanted to educate potential users about the new ZOE electric car in order to drive new leads to their website to book a test drive.

How could they personalize the guided tour of ZOE’s benefits in order to move customers from awareness to consideration to action at scale?

The Solution: A Conversational Ad That Dynamically Adapts to Customer Preferences

Renault created a conversational ad campaign addressing car buyers preconceptions on electric vehicles and highlighting key features of the new ZOE model.

Using Google DV360, the campaign targeted two different Renault car buyers segments with different creatives. A single Conversational Display Ad unit was used that could dynamically adapt to the needs of both cohorts by using Spectrm’s conversational marketing platform.

The conversational assistant built with Spectrm could adapt to each car buyer preferences in real time in order to personalize product education to drive lead acquisition for the new vehicle.

The Results: 36% Lower Cost Per Conversion Than Comparable Campaigns for Electric Vehicles

For a similar cost to regular display, Renault got uniquely high engagement from in-market buyers at scale. These engaged prospects took multiple actions: in total over  5000 micro-conversions.

Conversational Display Ads proved cost effective with a 36% lower cost per micro-conversion than comparable campaigns promoting electric vehicles.

Declared data on how the audience interacted with information about ZOE, gathered in Spectrm, enabled Renault to get key insights into how people respond to the electric vehicle’s key value props and marketing messages. This informed subsequent iterations of the campaign and overall strategy.
