Case study

Choose your cool

When Mazda came to us looking to engage a younger, more progressive audience, they knew online video content could help them get there. But how do you create content that’s cool enough to really resonate with this audience? A killer combination of social media listening and correlation analysis helped us unpick the components that make online video content cool. Armed with this intel, we tested Mazda’s own videos against these elements.

The result? Mazda’s online video content strategy has been shaped entirely by consumer insight.

Everything – from the way they brief their creative agencies to the media spend in each market – has been informed by the consumer voice.

“Our work with decidedly has been instrumental in shaping our future strategy and has ensured that each and every decision we make is firmly rooted in consumer insight. This approach has increased brand familiarity and enabled us to tap into a new audience, but its true impact is much broader than that: our work with decidedly has brought the customer voice to the centre of our business.”
