Audi Germany has released a new advertising campaign encouraging buyers to make use of their service. “Mechanics”, a television commercial, “Mechanics”, shows an Audi driver being pursued by desperate and unruly mechanics, on his way to an Audi service centre. The commercial drills into the massed mad chase motif usually found in zombie films. The final tagline: ” Damit Dein AUDI nicht in falsche Hände gerät” (Don’t let your Audi fall into the wrong hands). The campaign is designed to remind buyers that the “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Advancement Through Technology) promise extends beyond the development and production of a new car. The brand’s aspiration also holds good for customers’ everyday lives when it comes to service.
We’ve posted here the director’s cut, from Sebastian Strasser’s Vimeo channel.
Silke Miksche, Head of Marketing Communications Germany: “The subject of “service” is of tremendous importance both for the customer and for us as car manufacturer and our dealerships – and yet it has so far not been the focus of our communications. The way we approach the subject is altogether unexpected – emotional, spectacular, epic. In other words, this is truly big-screen stuff.”
Stefan Schulte, Managing Director Creation, thjnk berlin: “It’s fantastic to tell stories – preferably on a grand scale. No matter which medium it’s in, good storytelling is and will remain the most important component of successful communications.”
The Audi Mechanics campaign was developed at Thjnk, Berlin, by executive creative director Stefan Schulte, creative directors Siyamak Seyedasgari, Matthias Walter , art directors Inga Oßenbrügge, Mike Wenzel, Anika Zanter, copywriter Daniel Lamprecht , consulting managing director Hendrik Heine , account director Nicole Bierwolf and account manager Dominik Schäfer working with Audi Germany head of marketing Markus Siebrecht, head of marketing communications Silke Mitksche and project director Stephanie Köpcke.
Filming was shot by director Sebastian Strasser via Radical Media, Berlin , with director of photography Roman Vasyanov. Post production was done at Time Based Arts, London .
Music is by Raife Burchell (Dirty Soup) and Robert Cairns.
Photographer was Attila Hartwig with retouching done at PX1, Berlin.
Coca Cola’s bottle centenary celebrations includes “Kissed By”, a print and outdoor advertising campaign featuring Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Ray Charles being “kissed by” the iconic Contour bottle. Another part of the “I’ve Kissed…” campaign is “Kiss Happiness”, a commercial showing ways the Contour bottle has been a part of life and moments of happiness and celebration over the past 100 years. Inspired by a quote by artist Andy Warhol, “Kissed By” celebrates the specialness of Coca-Cola and the iconic bottle. Coca-Cola connects us across generations and across the globe through the simple act of drinking an icy cold Coca-Cola from the iconic glass bottle, a symbol of refreshment and uplift.

Created in 1915 by The Root Glass Company of Terre Haute Indiana to stop the efforts of copycat cola brands, the Contour bottle answered a brief that called for “the packaging to be highly distinctive, recognised by touch alone and identifiable even when in the dark or shattered on the floor”.
The television commercial was created at McCann Spain, Madrid.
Filming was shot by director Agustin Alberdi via Landia and Los Producers, Madrid.
