How Suzuki's TV tie-in boosted its sales growth

Suzuki’s share of the UK market languished at 1.3% at the end of 2015.

To highlight enjoyment of driving its cars and grow consideration for its brand, Suzuki formed a content partnership with ITV’s ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’ entertainment show.

Following the launch of #SuzukiSaturdays, brand consideration reached a record 44%, while increased share of market made Suzuki the fastest-growing UK car brand for two years running.

This case estimates the approach paid back £207m in incremental revenue. The effectiveness of this strategy was recognised in the 2018 IPA Effectiveness Awards - see film below.
