A Facebook Case Study
Toyota Motor Corporation promoted its new compact minivans, the Roomy and Tank, and needed to raise awareness among young families in Japan and drive traffic to a campaign website. The challenge was to find a more effective way to reach and engage mobile users than simply repurposing an unedited TV commercial.
Toyota ran a head-to-head test on Facebook, delivering both the original TV spot and a shorter, mobile-optimized video (square format with text overlays) to adults 18–39. The mobile creative outperformed the TV ad across the board—3.5× higher ad awareness, 3.7× higher brand awareness, 2× more views and 1.5× more effective target reach—achieving broader (and stronger) reach, especially among women, on the same budget.
