What’s the Situation?
With the “Nissan Power 88” initiative, Nissan needs a global partner to
solidify its brand messaging.
What’s the Situation?
That journey begins in the US.
What’s the Problem?
US demand for Nissan vehicles is at a historical low.
What’s the Problem?
Why?
What’s the Problem?
American drivers don‘t know who Nissan is.
What’s the Problem?
“What does Nissan mean to me? Not a doggone thing!”
“Nissan is ‘that other’ Japanese company that build perfectly competent vehicles, but doesn’t have that one factor that makes them stand out.”
*actual comments on Nissan as a car brand
“Today, Nissan is the company that builds everything. I am not sure what Nissan is, exactly.”
“’Innovation For All’” is a perfectly reasonable aspiration for Nissan, though they are a fair distance from it.”
Why do EVs matter?
First and foremost, Nissan has put electric vehicles at the forefront of its
innovations.
Why do EVs matter?
And people are noticing.
Why do EVs matter?
“The Leaf on the other hand is a huge departure for them.”
*actual comment on Nissan car as a brand
What’s the Problem?
This is a brand knowledge problem.
What’s the Goal?
So how can we fix this identity crisis?
What’s the Goal?
Prove to American drivers who Nissan really is with the Nissan Leaf.
What’s the Goal?
How do we convince American drivers?
Who are American Drivers?
“There are car people, and there is everyone else.”
Who are American Drivers?
Car people care about how they get from point A to point B. They understand mechanics. They’re gear heads. The details matter. But, they’re a small niche.
Who are American Drivers?
Most Americans that buy cars are the “everyday drivers.” To them, cars are just a means, not an end. The majority wants what is
simplest, easiest, and most efficient to use.

Why Do Drivers Buy Plug-Ins?
Drivers are hung up on all the ways EVs are just so… different.

BLEND IN TO THEIR LIVES*

What’s Missing?
For all other leadings EVs and hybrids, buying one is a luxury. It’s something
extra. You have to sacrifice something. It doesn’t fit naturally like a comparable ICE car does.
What’s Missing?
MASSIVE
RANGE
What About the Big Picture?
We live in an a technocracy, a culture saturated with innovation and the
“startup” mentality.
What About the Big Picture?
What does this mean for consumers?
What About the Big Picture?
People don’t settle for what’s “now”–they expect the best, newest solution. What we buy needs to keep up with us.

KEY
INSIGHT
What’s Our Key Insight?
For an electric car to stand out, it has to fit in.
For everyday drivers to buy into EV, it has to be detached from its stigmas: “liberal green,” “oddball design,” etc. It can’t be the car for
“someone else,” because most Americans want a car that fits
seamless into the way they already do things, not the way they should
be doing things. An EV car has to seem like the natural choice.
What’s Our Key Insight?
“Nissan needs to work harder on not making their electric cars look like
electric cars”.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES TO BECOME 7% OF CAR SALES BY 2020*

What’s Our Strategy?
The Nissan Leaf isn’t about electric. It’s the natural upgrade to the driving
experience.
What’s Our Strategy?
It’s the natural upgrade to the driving experience.
People like to drive the way that works for them, and what better than communicating all the ways that the most affordable electric car on the market frees them from all of the traditional “roadblocks” of driving: stopping at the pump for gas, expensive engine maintenance, feeling bad about your carbon footprint. The Nissan Leaf isn’t a luxury. It’s an amenity-in-waiting. It’s the typical driving experience’s successor. Not a luxury, but an upgrade, to make things easier in your life.
What’s Our Strategy?
It’s the natural upgrade to the driving experience.
