Volvo Cars will continue its move away from traditional auto industry events to focus on bespoke activities to introduce its new cars, technologies and services to media and consumers.
The shift towards purpose-specific communications supports the company’s ambition to transform its connection to its customer base, with the aim to build more than five million direct consumer relationships by the middle of next decade.
The company’s most recent new-car launches revealed the XC40 compact SUV at the 2017 Milan Fashion Week and unveiled the new V60 premium mid-size estate in the driveway of a suburban home in Stockholm.
Later this month Volvo Cars will also launch its new S60 sports sedan at the inauguration of the company’s first US manufacturing plant, in Charleston, South Carolina.
As part of the company’s strategy to target a new mix of audiences and develop its own events, Volvo Cars has decided it will not attend the Geneva Motor Show in 2019.
Volvo Cars’ new S60 sports sedan will complete a successful renewal of the company’s portfolio, which started with the introduction of the XC90 in 2014. Since then the company has recorded four consecutive years of record sales and profits.
The company now enters a new phase with the strongest global car range in its history and will continue to increase its focus on innovation and services.
