Vorsprung, you either have it or you don't

21 Mar 2005 09:545 commentsBizLike
The new Audi A4 commercial has this in carloads. Keith Rose of Velocity Films, has directed the latest Audi A4 commercial featuring a stylized series of cleverly chosen objects that resemble faces, referring to the jaw-dropping (and face like) design of the new Audi's grille.
According to Gerry Human, Executive Creative Director of Ogilvy Johannesburg, "VORSPRUNG can be interpreted in many different ways - it literally means brave and pioneering, but in this case it also means innovative, stylish and contemporary. Either way 'The Faces' commercial is a great expression of the Audi brand spirit. Let's face it if you have a cracker of an idea that requires outstanding execution there's only one guy for the job- Keith Rose."

Part of the effectiveness of the ad stems from the edgy music that was designed especially for the advertisement. The track was produced by Markus Wormstorm of "Say Thank you" sound design.

yaaawwn-
it's a boring ad. shot ok, but boring.

does it make me all excited and give me gooseflesh about the car?
no.

The agency will describe it as an art piece for "discerning car buyers" I'm sure.

A waste of a good brief. Posted on 22 Mar 2005 18:09

It's a beautiful ad - the music, the editing, the idea

It made me go to the Audi website to price the new A4 and order it! Posted on 23 Mar 2005 08:56

Yes, brilliant!-
I don't claim to be any kind of expert, but this has to be one of the most impressive ads I've seen in many a year. Love the John Lee Hooker-esque music, too! Keep up the superb work. Posted on 23 Mar 2005 09:10

Yip - yawn, stretch, scratch. I think it was pathetic - whoever tried to make the end graphic look like a face ... well - NOT! Posted on 23 Mar 2005 12:36
Yawn 2-
I rather thought the office drawer and the car tape deck were also stifling a yawn. The other poor items were prisoned in their inanimate observation. Come on Audi, with Chris Bangle in the design seat at BMW, the road ahead is wide open. But at least in the short term, with your drastically reduced advertising spend on production, we can expect savings to be passed on to consumers. Posted on 23 Mar 2005 20:31
