Task
McLaren is a globally renowned luxury automotive brand, celebrated for its cutting-edge innovation, precision engineering, and high-performance supercars. With a legacy rooted in Formula 1 and elite automotive craftsmanship, McLaren represents the pinnacle of speed, technology, and exclusivity. My collaboration with McLaren was through Harwoods, one of the UK’s premier automotive retail groups, where I worked on high-profile marketing campaigns to enhance brand engagement and customer experience.
The task was to develop and design a high-impact campaign to drive sign-ups for the reveal event of the new McLaren Artura, while building anticipation and engagement. As Design & Creative Lead, I was responsible for crafting a visually compelling and strategically aligned suite of marketing assets that resonated with McLaren’s luxury audience.
This included social media teaser content, designed to gradually reveal key design elements using dynamic visuals and motion graphics. Release materials, such as press kits and event collateral, ensured a cohesive brand presence. A dedicated landing page was optimised for high conversion rates, while a targeted email campaign used personalised messaging and premium visuals to drive sign-ups and engagement. The challenge was to create a campaign that not only maximised attendance but also reinforced McLaren’s prestige and innovation within the supercar market.
Result
The campaign successfully generated excitement and engagement ahead of the Artura unveiling:
Sign-Ups Filled Within 24 Hours: The event reached full capacity in less than a day, demonstrating the campaign’s effectiveness in creating urgency and demand.
Social Media Impact: The teaser content drove a 63% increase in social engagement and a 48% boost in shares, building anticipation.
High-Performing Landing Page: Achieved a 41% conversion rate, leading to a 57% increase in event registrations.
Email Campaign Success: Open rates reached 52%, with a 36% click-through rate, exceeding industry benchmarks.
Brand Awareness & Buzz: Contributed to an 81% rise in organic conversations across luxury automotive forums and social media.
This campaign played a key role in driving sign-ups for the McLaren Artura reveal event, reinforcing McLaren’s exclusivity and innovation while delivering measurable success across digital and experiential touchpoints.
