Volkswagen Group Australia is running Volksfest Mate Rates, a retail advertising campaign highlighting car brand’s annual Spring sale in partnership with Curumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Online at volkswagenaustralia.com.au/materates, the television, digital and social campaign uses the Koala mating season to put the spotlight on a range of driveaway deals. Volksfest in 2014 is all about mate rates and will be on until two of Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s cuddly koalas, Trevor and Irene, make a family or November 30 arrives – whichever comes first.
