Lamborghini Powered Growth Marketing
How strategic marketing activations drive engagement, brand awareness, and measurable growth in mobility.
In the competitive world of mobility, organic engagement is critical in driving growth. At eCabs Technologies, we pride ourselves on fostering a network where city partners learn from each other’s successes, leveraging data-driven insights to continuously refine their marketing strategies. Our latest example of this cross-city collaboration comes from a strategic marketing initiative that ran in Malta and evolved into a successful awareness- and engagement-boosting activation in Athens.
How a Lamborghini Campaign Drove Real Engagement in Malta
For April Fool’s 2024, eCabs Malta launched a marketing campaign introducing a brand-new ride category: Super+, featuring a Lamborghini available for booking via the eCabs app. While the category itself was designed as a promotional Lamborghini powered growth marketing tool rather than a functional offering, the campaign generated substantial traction.
The initiative delivered impressive results:
- More than 260k organic social interactions.
- Installs surged by 81% – completed registrations and organic sign-ups by 60% and 22%, respectively.
- Ride bookings increased by 20%, demonstrating strong user engagement and conversion beyond initial sign-ups.
- Coverage via Maltese media outlets, including Times of Malta and LovinMalta.
- Follow-up user-generated content that sustained momentum throughout the month, including what became the top-performing TikTok post of 2024, further amplifying the campaign’s reach.
- Engagement levels in April saw a significant boost, with peak activity 192% higher than February’s strongest week and 305% above May’s highest recorded week.
- Instagram profile visits surged 38% compared to March and 370% compared to May, while TikTok drove 80k+ views on said content.
All of this was achieved without any paid promotion, demonstrating the power of strategic, shareable content.
Expanding the Concept: Taxi.gr’s Lamborghini Activation in Athens
Our Athens-based city partner, Taxi.gr, elevated the concept by making the Lamborghini bookable via its own in-app vehicle category for one weekend as a guerrilla awareness campaign.
Here’s how Taxi.gr leveraged the playbook to drive exceptional results:
- A multi-day campaign featuring an in-app Lamborghini category.
- Influencer collaborations played a key role in amplifying the campaign’s reach, with Alexandros Kopsialis (1.1M followers) leading the charge. Influencers involved had a combined followership of over 2.6 million, expanding the campaign’s visibility and impact.
- At least 7x in estimated installs in March (projected) vs. February.
- At least 5x in estimated Daily Active Users in March vs. February, demonstrating strong user engagement beyond the install.
- Widespread media coverage, further solidifying Taxi.gr’s presence in the competitive Athens taxi app market.
- Major boost in brand awareness for Taxi.gr, driving both engagement and long-term user retention.
