The Brief

The new Audi A4 was launched in July. The first actual cars would only be available in Belgium in November. The challenge was to keep the attention and interest for this long awaited model high for a long period. This campaign with a high stunt level managed to grab and keep the attention. Both in real life as online, where a video of the action racked up a lot of impressions.

Campaign Success

All men and women in the process of buying a new car, leasing a car ... The competition is fierce with both the BMW 3 series en Mercedes' C-class. Both new and existing consumers needed to hear about the new Audi A4 and its innovative technology. The new Audi A4 is especially worth checking out because of its innovative technology. That's why we decided to have the new Audi A4 make the city safer. At night, pedestrians are more vulnerable. Especially in big cities. We integrated the adaptive headlights, normally found in the new Audi A4, into a 210 m2 billboard. The lights followed pedestrians and made it safer for them to cross the busy streets around the billboard. This way Audi proves the adaptive headlights are there for safety.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

• The Billboard was seen by 1.3 million people in the streets • The video was picked up by newspapers & car blogs from Belgium, to Mexico. • 100% of people crossing the street safely made it to the other side.
