LG - Mobile phone market
In the competitive mobile phone market, it is an uphill battle for emerging companies to gain market share and brand recognition. However, during their Fashion Campaign, LG Mobile Phones managed to increase unaided brand awareness by 113%, increased their market share from 13% to 17.6%, and increased brand differentiation by 367% among other significant accomplishments. Through targeted marketing and advertising efforts, LG reached the elusive 18 to 24-year-old market and surpassed campaign goals by implementing strategies to make LG phones "The Mobile Phone to Know."

 

LG campaign - Building brand awareness
This campaign has been pivotal in not only building brand awareness for LG but also contributing to the overall growth success of the company, demonstrated by the recent number two finish across all mobile phone technologies in the United States for 2005. In addition, LG once again secured the number one position in the CDMA handset market both in the U.S. and globally according to IDC, a leading information technology market research and advisory firm. LG's relentless dedication to providing the most innovative products to the market has propelled LG to become the fastest growing mobile phone brand in North America according to Strategy Analytics, Inc.

 

LG - Fashion, music, art and entertainment
"By taking our target audience's desire to be ‘in the know' and pairing it with the latest trends in fashion, music, art, and entertainment, we positioned LG phones as the next ‘must have' item for young adults," said Maron. "We also launched a viral campaign that led to a coolness factor by associating LG phones with key influencers and activities."
