Shining a light on the true value of an established brand.
AAA is a household name and ubiquitous with roadside assistance. However, research uncovered that beyond this, people – even current members – didn’t know the true value of a membership. We put this misperception front and center in our campaign.

Meeting people (where they are).
We focused on the key demographic of 25 to 45 year olds and prioritized digital, acquisition-focused tactics. We shared what felt like organic content across a strategically targeted paid social buy. Meeting our audience where they are, with content that genuinely resonates, is always a win.
By communicating AAA’s true value beyond roadside assistance, this campaign strengthened our brand and accelerated membership growth.

Adding star power to the team.
We added Buffalo Bills lineman Dion Dawkins to the mix and immediately boosted impressions. He was a natural fit for AAA, embodying the brand’s values of service, protection, and connection to the community.

This effort is the first time AAA conveyed its complete story beyond roadside. And we witnessed just how powerful that story actually is.
