Cultural/Context information for the jury

The Volkswagen California is the essential campervan, perfect for discovering new sights worldwide. The only blind spot it has is on its rear side. Which can be quite problematic while driving through the streets of an unfamiliar holiday destination. That’s why now every California model of the latest generation can be equipped with the optional rear view camera. Our task was to communicate its advantages in an unseen way while still being mindful of the California’s much-loved traveller’s DNA. The perfect opportunity to develop our first campervan poster campaign without a single car in it – and to start off the summer holidays for our target audience by rethinking what it means to go sightseeing. Because sometimes the little things are equally as worth seeing as the big tourist attractions.
