• The new RAM 1500 LD is significantly upgraded for the 2013 model year, with many of the key upgrades “under the hood,” including a lighter frame, a more efficient V6 engine, and more horsepower and torque.
• However, the average consumer does not truly understand how those features will translate into benefits.
• UM has asked CRN to design a campaign to get in-market consumers into dealer showrooms to see and learn more about the new RAM 1500. UM has also asked for inclusion of a drive-to-web component for contest entry.
• Competitive set: Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150
• Primary Target: “Truck Guys”—Men 25–54 who need a tough truck to handle both professional and recreational pursuits.
– Their truck embodies their lifestyle and attitude. They thrive in the outdoors, are passionate about sports, and are “hands-on” both at work and at play.
– Quality, reliability, and durability are the most important influences on their purchase consideration.

• Educate “Truck Guys” about the new RAM 1500 LD’s features and how they benefit the consumer.
• Increase purchase consideration for RAM.
• Drive consumers online to perform LFAs.
CRN has designed a campaign that will break through competitive clutter, grab listener attention, and deliver brand features and benefits in ways that go beyond advertising.
The campaign will:
• Give consumers incentives to learn about the vehicle.
• Use radio personalities and online assets to educate the consumer.
• Drive Truck Guys into the showroom to see and experience the new vehicle.

CRN has created an integrated campaign that uses contests to incent consumers to learn about the new
RAM 1500 LD and on-air station personality endorsements, on-air messaging, and vehicle appearances as engaging education tools.
