Electric for everyone

MG is an iconic UK automotive brand re-establishing itself as a leader by democratising access to electric vehicles.

However, MG is recognised by some generations as a historic brand and, by others, a brand they’ve never heard of. Our challenge was to identify the role of MG for today’s consumer and position the brand as one that offers a helpful hand to anyone considering an EV.

We always start with the consumer; in this instance, it is about understanding the motivations and barriers to purchase an EV. Despite the big brands converting many to the fundamental idea of electricity, there is still a significant knowledge gap.

Our research found the audience loves ‘electric for everyone’ and is pleasantly surprised by the MG offering (and they see the British heritage as a big plus).

Practicality is critical, and getting a fundamental understanding of this is crucial to their decision-making process, along with the actual costs of EVs. They aren’t in the market for the big brands and want to feel they are making a savvy choice.
