Brand & Communication

Yamaha Long Thành Đạt

Standardized and managed a unified brand communication system across 7 showrooms, ensuring a consistent message and brand identity at every online and offline touchpoint.

Challenge
Fragmented communication across 7 showrooms left the brand image inconsistent. Ad spend kept rising while brand awareness across the chain stayed scattered.
Objective

Build a centralized brand communication system. Standardize the brand identity, align messaging and increase customer touchpoints across all 7 showrooms.

Execution

Connected strategy, content, campaigns, and customer experience into a seamless operating model, ensuring a consistent brand presence across all touchpoints.

Brand foundation

One spirit, three message pillars

Before choosing communication channels, I clarify three core elements: the key message, customer personas, and brand voice.

The guiding spirit

Revs Your Heart

Every bike that leaves the showroom is not just a transaction, but the start of a long journey together.
01

Product

Bringing new models to customers at the right time and making the core value of each model clear.
02

Service

Standardizing after-sales service to give customers a compelling reason to return.

03

Community

Bringing bike owners together into a close-knit community.
Customer personas
01

Young people and students

They choose bikes that match their personal style, research options on social media, and are drawn to eye-catching visuals and hands-on experiences.

Need: Personal inspiration, engaging visual content, and a compelling reason to visit the showroom for a test ride.

02

Working professionals and families

They carefully weigh durability, running costs, and after-sales service, and typically ask questions and compare options before making a purchase.

03

Bikers, motorcycle enthusiasts

They love speed, enjoy group rides, and value being part of a community that shares their passion.

Needs: A place to connect, test-ride events, and a sense of belonging to Yamaha Club.
