When awareness isn’t enough: A data-backed playbook for turning ad spend into auto sales in Nigeria’s competitive market.
When JAC Motors Nigeria came to us, they had a clear problem:
“We have vehicles in stock. We need sales not just likes.”
The automotive market in Nigeria is crowded. Consumers research extensively. And traditional brand campaigns often stall at the consideration stage.

- Creative That Converts: “Test Drive This Week” hooks + limited-stock urgency + customer testimonial overlays
- Frictionless Handoff: Click-to-WhatsApp buttons reduced form fatigue; auto-responder qualified leads instantly
- Data Loop: Every interaction fed into a central CDP for real-time optimization
The Execution: Tools, Channels & Creative
- Facebook Lead Ads + Conversion API for accurate attribution

- Mailchimp + Zapier for automated email sequences
