Creating seamless digital experiences at full throttle
As the world continues to turn to more digital interactions by preference, the time was perfect for EchoPark to move swiftly to market with a unique digital/hybrid car buying experience that only they could offer.
While many auto companies have gone digital, most are still lagging from a retail ecommerce perspective. This was partially due to the rigid nature of existing Automotive Marketing Systems in the industry that offered experiences that don’t match the lives of car-buyers. This “white space” was wide open and ready to be conquered, but the team at Sonic knew speed to market could make or break this business. The team knew that they needed to create a modern, fast, and flexible digital infrastructure that the brand could own and manage simply and easily going forward. They also knew it was imperative to keep the customer at the center of all decisions to truly create the customer-centric organization it desired.
Known for our Experience Design prowess, Bajaj approached Bottle Rocket to help create a visually stunning and immersive experience for their customers. Partnering with other Ogilvy specialty brand partners including Verticurl for the backend development, Bottle Rocket got to work providing visual design, user research and strategy. Using cultural context from our partners at Ogilvy India, Bottle Rocket was able to unearth what was most important for these customers.
The new site needed to be forward-thinking while remaining retail-oriented to show the facts and features of each vehicle. The new site shows off all the bells and whistles of the bikes, while still providing necessary information like performance, design, technology and safety. The new website features a slider gallery with animated content images to compare different types of vehicles. The team also tackled organization of vast databases of information, including investors information and press releases, allowing the user to filter by year or month, with tabs for easy access. The site features an easy to understand overview of the models of motorcycles so customers can easily compare bikes to one another. Inside the motorcycle detail page, users are able to see a 360- degree view of the motorcycle, as well as modify the specifications of the vehicle to their liking. After designing their perfect bike, customers are able to easily find the closest dealership to them to book a test drive and purchase the vehicle in-person.
The BajajAuto.com website will help to provide customers with all the information needed to make this important purchase, while displaying the modern and cutting-edge vision for the brand. Together, Bottle Rocket and Bajaj were able to create an incredible experience for the client and customers alike.
