We are Kubota.

The objective of the We are Kubota campaign is to introduce the Kubota brand to a new market of prospective owners and create a sense of community for current Kubota owners.

The campaign, created by Paulsen and the Kubota marketing team, includes national TV, radio, print, digital and event support.

Tactics included a 20-page takeover of Progressive Farmer, featuring only the Kubota brand throughout the entire publication.

"The We are Kubota campaign as developed and produced by Paulsen, has exceeded our expectations many times over and will lead our brand communications efforts far into the future. It is a seminal work that resonates with people, and it truly bespeaks the Kubota brand and its customers."

- -Vince Iorio, Marketing Communications Manager, Kubota

Dealer Support: Pay Per Click

Paulsen helps Kubota connect with consumers in specific geographies during the search process and drive them to participating dealerships.

These pay per click (PPC) campaigns are customized by regional dealer group to feature specific product sets, regional visuals, dealer locators and promotional offers. Paulsen also creates custom landing pages for dealer groups.

Alan Jackson Tour Sponsorship and Sweepstakes

Kubota formed a strategic partnership with country music star Alan Jackson to reach the rural audiences that are core Kubota customers.

The Keepin’ It Country sponsorship includes a national sweepstakes for a Kubota L Series tractor. Dealership indoor and outdoor display materials encourage giveaway entries while concert venue displays highlight the Kubota brand and products.

Additional tactics include social media integration, a fan experience at the Nashville International Airport and a desktop and mobile data capture and sweepstakes entry page.

The campaign has been tremendously successful, with positive dealer engagement and an extraordinary number of entries.
