The Campaign

Ramadan is a holy month for fasting, family gatherings, giving, and spreading goodness in KSA. During Ramadan advertisements get really cluttered. Toyota wanted to launch the new Hilux model during Ramadan focusing on quality, durability and reliability. As an Insight during Ramadan, dates and water get distributed on traffic lights before Iftar time for the Muslims to break their fast. This has inspired us to create the “Ramadan Toyota Hilux Truck” under the theme of “Fill it and contribute in spreading goodness”. We designed a replica of the Toyota Hilux model on a miniature scale. We filled 300,000 Hilux trucks with dates and water. The Hilux Trucks were distributed in the Kingdom around all traffic lights before iftar time during the entire holy month of Ramadan. Over 15,000 subscribers contributed in the Hilux “Spreading Goodness” campaign and uploaded pictures of their trucks filled with gifts on the Hilux Facebook page.
