This proposal suggests using influencer marketing and social intercept programs to promote a Ride and Drive event. It involves selecting influencers to document their experiences driving new Toyota vehicles and exploring local attractions in Chicago. Their social media posts would encourage engagement through likes and contests. This aims to increase traffic to the Ride and Drive event and auto show by reaching more consumers along their vehicle purchase journey through authentic social conversations. Data from online interactions would provide insights and leads for dealers. Two specific program ideas outlined are #ChicagoLikes, where influencers highlight what they like about Chicago, and #ChiTownRoadTrip, where influencers road trip to Chicago from out of town.
