ISUZU LEVERAGED A RUGBY PARTNERSHIP TO
DRIVE HIGH IMPACT MARKETING MOMENTS

Nine x Isuzu

CHALLENGE: At the heart of every Isuzu lies a tried and tested DNA of a refined combination of power, efficiency and reliability. In 2022, Isuzu wanted to bring this to life through the launch of the latest Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X, and to ultimately connect their product with a male audience.

SOLUTION: Rugby on Nine was identified as the perfect sporting vehicle to support Isuzu, over the Super Rugby Pacific and Wallabies Season, through compelling storytelling across our Total TV offering—including Channel 9, 9Now and Stan Sport, alongside radio integrations and Sports Sunday extension.

RESULTS: Utilising Nine's Rugby Union coverage, Isuzu put their brand message at the heart of the action—with a campaign consisting of an integrated Half-Time key moment with verbal introduction, Live Break TVC, Billboards, Radio Integration and a Key Rugby Moment extension across Sports Sunday during the Wallabies season.

"From an IUA perspective, we engaged in a 2022 Rugby Partnership with Nine to deliver multiple messages over an extended period, and so 33 weeks of rugby with multiple spots and integration allowed us to run a variety of creative at high frequency to an engaged male audience."
