Nissan has only recently developed a presence in Brazil and was looking to jump-start its relationship with drivers there. It wanted an innovative way to introduce its worldwide brand belief, ‘Shift’, to the Brazilian consumer.
To reach its target audience, Nissan chose O Estado de Sao Paulo, one of Brazil’s largest papers, and the most important source for people buying cars.
