Client Background:
Cape Cruisers Auto, a reputable car dealership in Cape Town, specializes in mid-range to luxury vehicles. While their traditional marketing efforts had maintained a steady customer base, the dealership sought to tap into the under-35 demographic, known for their preference for visually engaging, digital-first platforms. Recognizing the power of TikTok for connecting with this audience, Cape Cruisers partnered with Ama 2000 Auto Visuals to revamp their marketing approach.
