We were able to tie considerable cash incentives into a message about the vehicle’s performance, economy, luxury, style and value for money. It is a marketing imperative for us to design campaigns that exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Khaldon Abdul Hafiz, Marketing Manager for Hyundai UAE.
