Driving the Future. Supporting Caterham’s Electric Vision.
Rika was entrusted by Caterham to deliver high-impact Digital Experiences, CRM Automations and Marketing Communications for the global launch of Project V; Caterham’s first fully-electric coupé concept car.
The Business challenge
Caterham, renowned for its iconic, British-built Seven lightweight sports cars and exhilarating driving experiences, embarked on an exciting new chapter with Project V — a fully-electric coupé concept. Representing a bold step into the future of electric vehicles, Project V remains true to Caterham’s core principles of lightweight simplicity, agility, and driver engagement.
To support this transformative launch, Caterham partnered with Rika to design a visually striking, immersive, and high-performing digital experience, fully-integrated HubSpot CRM and a range of assets for communicating the launch and the product to a global audience.
Objectives
The launch needed to deliver across a number of key strategic objectives - all vital levers to help bring the concept to production and road-ready life.
- Introduce Caterham’s EV vision to the world.
- Appeal to loyal Caterham customers and enthusiasts while captivating a new, broader audience not familiar with Caterham and its significant history.
- Integrate with the HubSpot CRM to assess purchase intent, inform further investments and orchestrate global marketing engagement.
Launched alongside Project V’s global debut at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, the campaign has helped generate over 6,500 sales enquiries, capturing the imagination of car enthusiasts and the wider automotive audience.
Rika’s role extended beyond the brief to include CRM integrations for precise data management, multi-language content and creative, including Japanese, and dynamic visual storytelling assets that reflect the car’s origins and innovative design philosophy.
Approach
Rika approached the Project V launch with a focus on bold design, technical excellence and immersive storytelling.
Attention-Grabbing Visual Design:
Creating a visually-compelling digital experience that echoed Project V’s minimalist, yet high-performance, aesthetic. Seamless accessibility across devices, languages and cultures was essential.
Compelling Storytelling:
Highlighting Project V’s key features, such as range, its carbon fibre composite chassis and driver-focused cockpit, through rich visual creative assets. The objective was an engaging narrative that balanced technical details with emotional and sensory appeal.
Leveraging CRM:
The integration of the enterprise-class HubSpot platform provided real-time data capture, enabling Caterham to track enquiries and assess customer interest and sentiment in real time.
Launch Day Coordination:
On-site technical and creative support for Project V’s reveal at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, ensuring the digital experience aligned perfectly with the physical unveiling to the world's automotive media.
