Volvo Omtanke

Objective

As part of the Omtanke ‘To Think Again’ campaign, Volvo aimed to illustrate both their brand heritage and constant innovation that makes life more effortless for Volvo drivers.

With saturated brand awareness across the premium car category, Volvo aimed to generate cut-through amongst affluent Australians in order to increase consideration of the Volvo XC60 and XC90 models for their next car purchase.

This selection of assets was strategically planned using oOh!’s propriety optimization tool Smartreach that identified the best oOh!
