SUMMARY
Nissan's Pathfinder SUV faced a challenging relaunch in a declining segment. The Pathfinder would take on the perception that SUVs were becoming little more than minivans in SUV clothing by reminding a maturing audience that they were still adventurous and owed it to themselves to live a life worth talking about. The campaign helped increase opinion levels of the Pathfinder to those equal to category leader Toyota and increased its segment share from 2.1% to 3.6%.
