Testing BMW brand campaigns with golfers

BMW & Liganova Mash Case Study BMW & Liganova Mash! logo

With the rapidly evolving golf landscape, BMW needed to modernise & bring consistency to their global golf communication.

Opportunity

With the rapidly evolving golf landscape, BMW briefed Liganova Mash to modernise & bring consistency to its global golf communication, whilst offering opportunity for deeper brand storytelling.

Pain Points

“We wanted to understand the sentiment & connection to new brand messaging/visuals across traditional and non-traditional golf audiences. It was important to Liganova Mash and BMW that the creative decision making was underpinned by empirical data.”

Solution

Gather provided a quantitative research study to investigate golfers’ sentiment towards four creative routes. The creative route was measured against BMW key objectives with traditional & non-traditional audiences from key golf markets. Gather supported Liganova Mash from research design to data collection/analysis and creation of the final report.

Impact

Gather’s report provided clear insights on how golfers from traditional & non-traditional backgrounds responded to the creative work against BMW’s key objectives. It helped us to support our assumptions and provided a data led result from which we could make a recommendation to BMW for developing a final creative route.

In addition the study also provided further insights on golf audience behaviour which we weren’t expecting. This supported our creative development further.”

Gather was an invaluable partner in helping us bring a data-driven approach to a complex creative brief from BMW. Their research not only enabled us to support our creative direction with real audience insight, but also helped us evolve our storytelling approach – ensuring BMW’s brand communication resonates more deeply with golf interested audiences.
