What was the Campaign Objective?

Increase awareness of Hendy Ford dealerships in a specific area. Increase sales of the 'Fiesta Flame' in the Hampshire area.

What was the Solution?

The campaign ran across August and September 2013 and delivered 270,198 impressions in the Portsmouth/Southampton area.

The Sky AdSmart campaign successfully drove sales of the 'Fiesta Flame' at the Hendy Ford dealership in Hampshire. Total UK Fiesta sales were up 23.6% in September 2013 while Hendy Ford's Fiesta sales during the same period were up 50.6%, more than double the national performance. Following the success of the campaign, Hendy Group has repeatedly booked campaigns with Sky AdSmart in other regions of the UK.

What were the Key Learnings of this Campaign?

"We were delighted when Sky decided to use the Portsmouth/Southampton area to launch Sky AdSmart Local. As that represents the heartland of our 20+ dealerships, the opportunity to deliver advertising directly to the Sky customers that matter to us was too good not to test" - Paul Hendy, Managing Director, Hendy Group.
