Social change, efficient usage and conservation has become the key themes of a range of initiatives running under brands’ banners—and Toyota can be named one of the most active companies in this game-changing movement due to its numerous initiatives of this kind. Toyota is adding a new initiative to the list by launching Spring Greening Challenge, a Facebook app that features weekly conservation challenges, data on the impacts of your personal domestic green choices and offers a chance to win money for participation. The new application has been unveiled as part of TogetherGreen, a conservation alliance between the National Audubon Society and Toyota, which was created for fostering public awareness and continued involvement in conservation issue.

Toyota has launched a bunch of lovely promotional initiatives dedicated to its Prius Family (remember the search for the plural form of Prius or the launch of a dedicated hub www.toyotapriusprojects.com), and there’s no reason to stop this successful movement. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. has teamed up with Saatchi & Saatchi LA to develop the new fully-integrated campaign titled ‘The Game of Life with Prius c’ for the latest addition to the Prius Family. The new marketing effort, which is infused with youthful spirit, clearness and freshness, is targeted at urban dwellers of 20 or 30-something, who are considering the purchase of a functional and fuel-efficient urban vehicle (which might be the first car in their life) at an accessible price.

Toyota claims to be one of the most innovative automakers in the world presenting the Fun-Vii, which stands for ‘vehicle interactive internet.’ The new concept car has a bodyshell made of touch-screen panels that makes it possible for the driver to change the pattern on display.  By touching the panels, a driver can also connect the car to the dealership’s website for a check-up.

Yahoo and Toyota have rolled out a new interactive ad format for Toyota Prius, called the ‘living ad.’ The new format of the ads designed to provide iPad users with an immersive experience of the new Prius range. The ads include photography and sequenced videos that use the device’s accelerometer and large canvas and due to it appear to be moving. This campaign follows the successful ‘Prius Goes Plural’ campaign.
