Toyota Prius Prime increases interaction time 3x benchmark with IBM Watson Advertising Conversations

Toyota needed a new way to increase engagement with auto-intenders for the Prius Prime, a more technologically advanced vehicle aimed at a tech-savvy, environmentally conscious audience. Toyota turned to IBM Watson Advertising to create a more interactive, educational advertising experience.

IBM helped Toyota launch the first cognitive ads in the auto industry using Watson Advertising Conversations, trained on Toyota’s product details and FAQs to enable real-time, one-to-one dialogue. The campaign delivered strong results, including 3x the Google Rich Media interaction time benchmark, 6K total user conversations, 3 interactions per session for big web, a 20% increase in purchase consideration among M35–49, and 37% higher engagement with audience-based location targeting.
