About the campaign

BMW sells a promise about driving rather than transport, and its Swiss marketing calendar is built on events rather than product launches. The 2024 and 2025 annual campaigns had to carry awareness for five distinct occasions, BMW Wintertraining, the Sustainable Forum Switzerland, the Concorso d'Eleganza at Lake Como, Art Basel and the Female Innovation Forum, while also advancing a sustainability position that sits awkwardly next to performance cars. Event coverage is easy to generate and easy to forget, so the problem was continuity.

Kingfluencers structured the year on two ideas held in tension: Joy in Motion for the driving experience, and Driven by Impact for sustainability and social responsibility. The execution was unusually concentrated, six high-end influencers on Instagram only, publishing 62 posts across the year, roughly ten posts each. That is a small roster by the standards of the agency's other work, where tiered casts of ten or more are normal.

Keeping the same six creators across every event is what turned five separate appearances into one programme, because the audience met the same people at the ski training, the concours and the art fair. Restricting to Instagram matched the premium content standard the brief asked for, at the cost of the reach a TikTok presence would have added.

Kingfluencers reports more than 2.9M impressions, more than 1.8M reach, 29K engagements and a 5.18% engagement rate. The engagement rate is high for automotive content at this volume, which is consistent with a small roster of established creators, though the page gives no per-event or per-creator breakdown and no attendance, test-drive or sales outcome for any of the five events. All figures are self-reported.

Case in 60 seconds

BMW's Swiss marketing calendar runs on events rather than product launches, and the 2024 and 2025 annual campaigns had to carry awareness for five distinct occasions while advancing a sustainability position that sits awkwardly next to performance cars.

Event coverage is easy to generate and easy to forget, so the real problem was continuity between occasions rather than reach at any one of them.

Strategy Breakdown

The primary strategy-learning section — interpretation, not a press-release summary.

Swiss audiences who follow premium design, motorsport, art and sustainability, reached through creators who already move between those worlds rather than through car content alone.
A brand built on driving pleasure has to talk about environmental responsibility without either claim undercutting the other.
Five unrelated events across a year read as five unrelated campaigns unless something carries between them.
BMW used the events as proof that driving pleasure and a sustainability position can share the same programme, with Joy in Motion and Driven by Impact naming both halves openly.
Recognition compounds. Meeting the same six people at the ski training, the concours and the art fair makes the fourth appearance feel like a continuing story rather than another sponsored post.

Why Kingfluencers's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Keeping the same six creators across every event turned five separate appearances into one programme the audience could follow.

  2. 2

    Naming both halves of the brand story, driving joy and environmental impact, let creators move between a ski training and a sustainability forum without the tone breaking.

  3. 3

    A small roster of established creators suits a premium brief, where consistency of content standard matters more than breadth of voices.

  4. 4

    Restricting to Instagram matched the premium content standard the brief asked for, at the cost of the reach a TikTok presence would have added.
