Different buyers need different messages. Profiling shapes the creative, not just the audience.
Two buyers, two completely different mindsets. The aspirational prime customer and the affordability-focused sub-prime customer respond to very different messages — and your creative has to reflect that.
Speak to the mindset
Prime buyers respond to the car, the spec and the lifestyle. Sub-prime buyers respond to reassurance, affordability and support. Same dealership, two distinct creative angles.
