ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Geely Auto Australia's decision to extend its partnership with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs NRL team is a clear indication of the brand's focus on building its presence in the Australian market

By investing in a local sports team, Geely is attempting to increase its brand awareness and appeal to Australian consumers, which could potentially drive showroom traffic and sales

What it means for brand perception

The partnership with the Bulldogs suggests that Geely is targeting a specific demographic, likely young families and sports enthusiasts, which could help the brand to establish a stronger connection with its target audience

The fact that Geely has committed to a three-year partnership indicates that the brand is taking a long-term approach to building its reputation in Australia, rather than just focusing on short-term sales gains

Competitor response and market dynamics

Other Chinese brands operating in Australia may need to reassess their marketing strategies in response to Geely's partnership extension, potentially leading to increased investment in local marketing initiatives and a more competitive market environment

Actionable insights for dealers

Dealers can learn from Geely's approach by considering how they can leverage local marketing initiatives to build their own brand presence and drive sales, such as partnering with local sports teams or events

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to research and identify potential local marketing opportunities that align with their target audience and brand values, and reach out to the relevant organizations to explore potential partnership opportunities
