SUMMARY
In 1999, luxury automotive brand Lexus set out to introduce a one-of-a-kind, brand-building winter sales event. No other luxury automaker had attempted to try this because sales growth – not brand growth – was the year-end priority. Most aimed achieve one or the other, not both. By focusing on the emotional core of the holidays – the gift-giving moment – Lexus resolved the sales event paradox. The iconic December to Remember Sales Event campaign grew sales AND grew love for the brand. 21 years later, its cultural impact lives on.
