HELPING A WELL-KNOWN AUTO CLUB BRAND SHIFT GEARS.

Despite its long and proud history, the American Automobile Association brand, or AAA, was stuck in neutral. Research showed that most people thought the organization only provided roadside assistance. They were unaware that AAA offered a wide array of auto, hotel, and travel services beyond basic towing insurance. 

To expand its membership base, the club wanted to change outdated perceptions of its brand to make it more appealing and relevant to a younger target audience. AAA needed fresh and compelling brand messaging that would have a robust impact nationally while accommodating the unique needs of regional clubs with limited resources.

We embraced a collaborative approach that allowed us to productively interact with various AAA clubs across the US and Canada. We repositioned the AAA brand, updated its value proposition, and created messaging based on our shared input. The resulting multimedia campaign featured a quirky but knowledgeable quality control expert driven to find the best deals on restaurants, hotels, and auto services—while also providing travel tips and roadside assistance. Through a strategic media mix of TV, radio, print, and digital, our modernized AAA story gained traction by emphasizing that AAA is there to help in more ways than ever.
