Challenge: With the launch of the Crown Signia SUV, joining the existing Crown sedan, Toyota set out to highlight the bold design and refined utility of the Toyota Crown Family — not just through traditional specs and features, but by telling a deeper story of innovation, purpose, and connection. The brand aimed to position these vehicles as go-to choices for bold, ambitious leaders who fiercely pursue their passions.
Strategy: Business Insider’s first-party data revealed that readers within the Toyota Crown Family’s target audience are three times more likely to read philanthropy and charity content. Inspired by the bold design and complementary strengths of the Toyota Crown Family — including the Crown sedan and Crown Signia SUV — Business Insider’s branded content studio crafted a story-driven campaign that focuses on the power of partnership between marine conservationists and artificial intelligence.
Result: Our videos captivated viewers across every platform, with the long-form videos and vertical cutdowns collectively surpassing 7.3 million views. Results from our forced exposure among in-market adults 18+ paint a clear picture of success: 94% of those exposed to the campaign reported liking the content, 90% expressed wanting to learn more about the Toyota Crown Family, and 82% said they would be more likely to consider the brand for a future purchase.
