In an industry that typically underserves women, Yamaha looked to change the narrative with a new and engaging campaign: Women Run the Water. This campaign focused on highlighting the excitement of water activities while speaking directly to women in a way that competitors haven’t historically done. The ultimate goals for Yamaha were to increase brand awareness, drive incremental traffic to the website, and capture newsletter registrations.

This required a deep understanding of the needs, wants, and challenges that women face in boating in order for our team to develop a comprehensive go-to-market plan that addressed these specific needs.
Our plan identified effective communication channels to reach and engage women in boating, as well as initiatives that fostered community-building among women in the boating space. Based on audience research, we identified relevant digital channels to reach Yamaha's new target audience and begin initiating campaign awareness.
Given a fixed campaign budget, Yamaha sought the expertise of Marketwake to develop and execute a comprehensive strategy that would optimize budget allocation across various channels and over time, with the objective of increasing brand awareness and growing brand loyalty among women.
