What worked for The ŠKODA Rapid?
![Page 31: šKoda rapid launch case study 09.04.2013 (nx power-lite) (nxpowerlite)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54bce64d4a79598c4c8b456d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What did not work for The ŠKODA Rapid?
Auto Expo:
• The ŠKODA Rapid was already launched in November 2011, one and a half month before the Auto Expo 2012 • ŠKODA showcased the Rapid at the Auto Expo, but it did not gather as much media pull, since it had already been launched
