Lamarque Ford Case Study
Challenges:
- While an iconic brand in the New Orleans market place momentum for the brand had plateaued
- Increased competition in the market place and a nation-wide dip in auto sales affected local sales
Strategy
- Positioned Mr. Ronnie Lamarque as a brand, himself, rather than just a personality
- Strategically placed media in target areas in meaningful ways - Berning was able to stretch the decreased budget by using doughnuts and promotional messaging
- Utilized Internet and social media to enhance online presence
- Developed community outreach to enhance energy for the brand
Results:
- Lamarque Ford is the number one Ford dealer in the New Orleans area
- The dealership was selected to be one of only a handful of dealerships to be included in the national 2009 Ford Taurus Tour and was selected again for the national 2010 Ford Fiesta Tour
