This year marked the launch of an all-new Mazda6 model, combining Mazda's signature design style with its cutting-edge performance and fuel-saving SKYACTIV Technology. In order to build awareness around the launch and grow their consideration set, Mazda Canada implemented Affinity Segments, Google's audience-based targeting tool, to help them zero in on a qualified audience. Mazda reached nearly half a million of its target audience within the first month of launch.
