The opportunity

The holy month of Ramadan is a key time in the region for brands to get the message out and communicate with customers. As part of this, Lexus Saudi Arabia (@LexusKSA) wanted to build awareness around the concept of people coming together during the festival. In this case, @LexusKSA felt it would be a good time to focus on the top end of the funnel and drive awareness among people who were less familiar with Lexus.

The strategy

To achieve this, @LexusKSA decided to partner with Aram TV (@aramshows), one of Twitter’s premium publisher partners in KSA. @aramshows created a custom clip for Lexus that included product placement and ran on @aramshows@LexusKSA promoted the video to its target audience in KSA, with the campaign focused on video views and awareness.
