Colombo, Sri Lanka – October 2026
Associated Motorways (AMW) Limited has secured a Silver award at the Dragons of Sri Lanka 2026 for its Nissan Gravite launch campaign, recognising the company’s integrated marketing approach and efforts to introduce the vehicle to Sri Lankan consumers.
The recognition highlights the growing importance of combining digital advertising, public relations, media engagement and experiential marketing to create stronger connections between automotive brands and their target audiences.
Integrated Marketing Strategy Drives Campaign Recognition
The Nissan Gravite launch campaign brought together multiple marketing channels to build awareness and generate consumer interest in the vehicle.
Rather than relying on a single advertising platform, the campaign combined digital marketing activities with media relations, public relations initiatives, events and experiential activations. This integrated approach helped create multiple opportunities for consumers to discover the vehicle and engage with the brand.
Digital platforms played an important role in communicating product information and reaching potential customers, while public relations and media activities supported broader awareness of the launch.
Experiential marketing initiatives and events also provided opportunities to introduce the vehicle directly to audiences, helping connect the product with prospective buyers.
Dragons of Sri Lanka Recognises Marketing Excellence
The Dragons of Sri Lanka awards recognise outstanding achievements in marketing effectiveness, creativity and campaign execution. The competition highlights campaigns that demonstrate strategic thinking, innovative communication and the ability to engage audiences across different channels.
AMW’s Silver award for the Nissan Gravite campaign reflects the contribution of integrated marketing in supporting automotive product launches in an increasingly competitive market.
For businesses operating in Sri Lanka, such recognition also illustrates how coordinated campaigns can bring together advertising, communications and consumer experiences to support brand positioning.
Automotive Brands Embrace Integrated Advertising
Sri Lanka’s automotive sector operates in a market where consumers increasingly use digital channels to research vehicles, compare features and explore purchasing options.
As a result, automotive marketers are placing greater emphasis on digital content, online advertising, media coverage and direct consumer engagement. These channels allow brands to communicate product benefits while building awareness among audiences at different stages of the purchasing journey.
Integrated campaigns can also help businesses maintain consistent messaging across online and offline touchpoints, creating a more connected brand experience.
The Nissan Gravite launch campaign provides an example of how multiple communication methods can be combined to support a vehicle introduction and generate market interest.

A Milestone for Automotive Marketing
AMW’s Silver award at Dragons of Sri Lanka 2026 highlights the value of bringing digital advertising, public relations, media engagement and experiential activities together within a coordinated marketing strategy.
As competition for consumer attention continues to increase, brands across Sri Lanka are likely to place greater emphasis on integrated campaigns that combine creative communication with meaningful audience engagement.
