We helped transform Saia from a logo on a truck to an LTL Freight brand based on relationships and commitment.

Industry-driving brand messaging across every touchpoint.

DEFINITION 6 provided the upfront research, strategy, UX and website design to establish the framework for the site build and development, to drive leads and brand affinity.​​ The site design and brand work set the ground-work for additional campaign executions including national broadcast television, radio, OOH, digital, search, and more.​

Approach

Following our 2018 Brand Development and Research, DEFINITION 6 developed a three-month mass media pilot program for five key markets for Saia: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Detroit. DEFINITION 6 was responsible for the strategy, execution, production, edit, and media planning management.  The final campaign, “Driving Business,” featured a 30-second broadcast spot with corresponding radio cut, as well as a sweep of print and digital banners. Our team further supported the message with YouTube pre-roll cut-downs, paid social assets, and billboards. By showcasing the pride and purpose behind the Saia name, “Driving Business” has changed the way customers perceive LTL freight service.
