Influencer Test Drive: 165K Impressions
New Toyota C-HR Hybrid test drive with influencer Felix Fassbender (242K followers) — 165K impressions from just 1 post and 10 stories.
Toyota is the world's largest automaker by production volume, founded in 1937 in Japan. A pioneer of hybrid technology with the Prius, Toyota combines reliability with innovation. In the German market, Toyota launched the C-HR Hybrid as a design-forward crossover targeting younger, urban drivers who care about sustainability but don't want to compromise on style.
What Was the Problem?
Launching the Toyota C-HR Hybrid to a younger, Instagram-native audience in Germany. Traditional automotive marketing (TV spots, dealer events) wasn't reaching 25-35 year olds who make car decisions based on social proof and influencer recommendations.
How We Solved It
We partnered with automotive influencer Felix Fassbender (242K followers) for an authentic test drive experience. Rather than a scripted commercial, Felix documented the real driving experience through 1 post and 10 Instagram stories. The authentic approach generated 165K impressions, 14.3K interactions, and 152K views — proving that letting influencers genuinely experience the product creates more trust than any ad.
