Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company to yours, since marketing a mass-market brand across many countries differs from marketing a luxury marque or launching a new electric vehicle brand in one market. Also consider the background each person brings, such as agency, communications or technology marketing, and pick the one closest to the problem you need to solve.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you divide marketing budget and responsibility between the national brand and the dealer network?
- 02How do you position a new model or an electric vehicle line without weakening the existing brand?
- 03Which measures do you trust to connect brand and launch campaigns to vehicle sales?
