Acura is the title sponsor of the Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Acura has a long winning history in racing.
Acura had a few main goals to hit at this year’s event: Prepare electrification messaging for BEV (the ZDX) while promoting the Type S lineup and launching the new Integra Type S.
Goal: Leverage new electrified ARX-06 and PCP 2.0 concept to prepare awareness for Acura electrification in SoCal market, while continuing to promote Type S lineup, launch new Integra Type S, strengthen owner retention and enhance consideration/lead generation.
To ensure success, Acura participated in 26 promotional events leading up to the race, leading to a 170% increase in data capture compared to the previous race. 3,841 people scanned the QR code at various promo events to opt in to the mailing list and win tickets to the race.
Acura’s experiential marketing partner GPJ was there to make sure the Acura brand hit its goals.
The Type S Garage was a highlight for attendees, where we built out an IRL version of Noburu’s Garage from the animated series Chiaki’s Journey.
