Briefly describe this entry's communications objectives and how it met those objectives (up to 100 words). Provide the URL of an online version of your production, if applicable:

Idea: Create a documentary starring three truckers each driving a LoneStar for a
week.

Objectives:
 • Earn credibility in a market that had a poor perception of International
 • Give the target audience a full experience of the features of the LoneStar in an
emotionally-compelling, entertaining way
 • Generate qualified leads for LoneStar

Results: Perception of International improved. Views of the film and visits to
website exceeded expectations. 28,000+ visitors to date. Leads for LoneStar have increased
steadily, with 14,000+ handraisers registering for updates.
 
The effort delivered fully on the idea of being the Trucker’s Advocate and
truckers felt proud.
