An integrated campaign for: Hella Gutmann.
A New Diagnostic Tool for the Workshop of the Future.
Hella Gutmann, a leading provider of diagnostic and repair solutions in the automotive sector, faced the challenge of introducing its flagship product, the mega macs X, to the market. The mission: to provide independent workshops with a future-proof solution for multi-brand diagnostics through a compelling and memorable campaign that positioned the mega macs X as the ultimate flexible workshop solution.
Creative Concept: Maximum Flexibility Tailored for Workshops.
The integrated campaign aimed to present the product with a completely fresh approach and deliver a clear message: the mega macs X represents maximum flexibility in vehicle diagnostics. This was visually reinforced with a distinctive black-and-green colour scheme and high-quality, dynamic product photography. These elements became the cornerstone of the communication strategy, positioning the product as a state-of-the-art solution that combines modern design with unparalleled adaptability.
Multi-Channel Approach for Maximum Reach and Engagement.
- Building Awareness: The first step was to introduce the mega macs X to a wide workshop audience. Through paid channels (trade press) and owned platforms (website, sales materials, social media, newsletters), the product launch reached its target market. Ad campaigns and visuals emphasised its "extreme flexibility" and showcased the product in a premium, polished style.
- Virtual Product Launch: With in-person trade shows cancelled due to the pandemic, the launch took place via the digital event #ZUHAUSMESSE Werkstattshow. Featuring well-known presenter Lina van de Mars, the event provided a unique and engaging experience. Here, you can watch a recording of the trade show: Hella Gutmann Solutions GmbH: repair shop show 2021 (hella-gutmann.com).
- Seamless User Journey and Lead Generation: From the registration phase to the event itself and post-event communication, digital channels were carefully orchestrated to avoid disruptions and optimise the registration process. Post-event follow-ups targeted additional on-demand viewers and generated qualified leads for the sales pipeline.
The Human Touch: A New Era for Workshops.
The campaign placed workshop professionals' needs and challenges at its heart. With its flexible licensing model and versatile applications, the mega macs X offers workshops a modern approach to multi-brand diagnostics. The messaging underscored how the mega macs X simplifies daily tasks by providing tailored diagnostic solutions for various vehicle types, all while guaranteeing maximum flexibility.
Compelling Results: A Strong Start for the mega macs X.
- High Registration and Attendance Rates: 1,092 registrations and 790 live participants for the #ZUHAUSMESSE Werkstattshow, achieving a show rate of 72.3%.
- Over 1,000 Units Sold in 2021: The successful launch drove strong market penetration for the mega macs X.

“Never before have trade show attendants known so much about a product and its benefits. Everyone already knew about the mega macs X. That’s why the sales talks at the fairs were considerably easier.”
