The Challenge
Zero recognition. A skeptical market. A 12-month window.
Saudi Arabian automotive buyers had deep loyalty to Japanese and Korean brands.
Chinese vehicles carried a quality perception problem that no amount of pricing
would fix on its own. The task was to build trust, awareness, and purchase intent
simultaneously, with a finite budget and no precedent in the market.
The Approach
Brand architecture. Dealer infrastructure. Performance media.
Started with brand positioning before spending a single riyal on media. Built the
visual identity, messaging hierarchy, and product story from scratch. Activated a
50+ sub-dealer network across Saudi Arabia, creating coverage and consumer
confidence before scaling paid performance campaigns. Every channel measured
against unit sales, not awareness scores.
The Result
Category leader. Award-winning team. Benchmark numbers.
