Their Goal
Drive consideration through thought leadership
As a pioneer in the tyre industry, Bridgestone has been dedicated to helping customers through their journeys with passion and innovation delivering reliability, safety and performance. Bridgestone’s team found a high-intent audience on Quora that was actively reading about tires. This offered a perfect opportunity to educate consumers, build thought leadership, and raise consideration for Bridgestone’s products.
To help implement their Quora Ads strategy, Bridgestone partnered with WATConsult, a globally awarded hybrid digital agency.
Tyres are a low involvement category and there are many consumer questions that have not been answered anytime in the past. Quora offered a platform for us to provide informative answers to these questions and drive engagement with our consumers through meaningful conversations.
