Nissan is making a major advertising wager through its tie-in with the most recent Star Wars flick, including a gigantic TV advertisement crusade. It’s all part of the automaker’s desire to go big or go home methodology, staking its advertising dollars on the biggest games or events as opposed to a series of smaller ones.

“We have one goal for this: To drive awareness for Rogue,” says Jeremy Tucker, Nissan’s vice president for marketing communications.

The conservative SUV was at that point all around situated in the market. Rogue has turned into Nissan’s top rated model in the U.S. It set another record in November alone, with sales up a whole of 18% contrasted with that month a year ago. “Rogue is on fire” when it comes to sales, Tucker says.


At the point when Nissan’s Rogue-Rogue One TV crusade, created with assistance from Lucasfilm, made its presentation a month ago, activity on Nissan’s site spiked 300%.

However everything met up with an exertion that, in the advertisement universes, is similar to the jump to hyperspace.

Tucker, a previous Disney official, says when the name of the motion picture was reported the previous spring as Rogue One, he instantly observed the conceivable outcomes for Nissan on account of the Rogue SUV.

He was on the telephone to Disney in about 24 hours, Tucker says. Furthermore, the entire Nissan group participated. “All got behind this vision,” he says.

Be that as it may, it was an enormous undertaking, including TV advertisements, as well as cross-advancement over all parts of Nissan’s operations – from showcases for dealerships to making the Rogue One vehicles with assistance from the assembling side. It finished in the introduction of the Rogue One Rogue at the Los Angeles Auto Show a month ago.

“I think this is the most achievement and coordinated battle Nissan has done in its history,” Tucker says. “We did it in four months. We needed to get down to business.”

Furthermore, they’re not done. At the point when the film hits theaters one week from now, Nissan will in any case be advancing their contribution with appearances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! furthermore, Good Morning America, Tucker says. In addition, he says the Rogue One SUVs have pulled in enthusiasm among purchasers, huge numbers of whom so far are huge Star Wars fans.

“Individuals are appearing in full Star Wars ensemble when they get it,” he says.
