I think a big part of the problem in the US is that the current Ad campaign SUCKS !!!!
It doesn’t say anything about the product, it doesn’t compare Cadillac to its completion and it certainly doesn’t make me want to own one. It simply doesn’t give potential buyers a reason to consider Cadillac instead of Mercedes, BMW, Audi or even Jaguar. It serves no purpose at all…The Advertising Agency should be fired.
I do not disagree that the ‘Dare Greatly’ tagline is weak, at best, but I do not think Jaguar should be on your list of competitive manufacturers. Replace them with Lexus.
The Ad Agency should review competitive campaign, particularly the successful ones.
The advertising TEAM should be fired, along with the agency. After all the former approved the campaign.
Speaking of, there is no advertising campaign for Cadillac. Nothing that tells people why Cadillac over the others, like you say. There are some ads with offers, but there needs to be so much more.
I suspect that by year end NA volume will be essentially flat with no year over year loss. The last 2 months have been relatively positive.
2016 should finish off with an approx. 8-10% increase compared to 2015 with the new XT5 and CT6 playing the biggest roles in that.
Yupp. And growing from there, I imagine.
