The document discusses a case study presented by the Web Analytics Consultants Association on how Fiat utilized web analytics and a popular Japanese comic book character, Lupin III, to boost its brand awareness and sales in Japan. Fiat's traditional advertising was not effective, so it launched a multimedia campaign featuring Lupin III interacting with Fiat cars to generate buzz online and offline. This simple idea leveraged an existing popular character to introduce the Fiat brand in an engaging way. Web analytics showed the campaign improved Fiat's social media influence and perceptions over time, with young women in particular responding positively. Female customer data revealed the campaign reached new potential buyers. Ongoing analytics also helped Fiat sustain sales growth to the present
