Brief:
Establish Volkwagen's image in Germany as "the people's car" in order to boost sales of the Golf.
Solution:
A story of epic dimensions, starring "the people's man": Horst Schlämmer - a popular character, played by a famous Comedian - goes for his driving licence. We used the internet to make the adventure come alive and accessible to everyone: our central platform was an elaborate video-blog, accompanied by podcasts, distribution through video-sharing-websites like youtube, extensive PR and media-coverage and a documentary website.
Result:
- 4,270,000 page-impressions, - 4,730,000 video-downloads - after only two months - 90,000 qualified contacts
- conversion rate of 12%
- iTunes Podcast-charts: number one; blogscout-charts: number two
- top issue in many blogs and online magazines
- positive change of perception of the blogossphere concerning branded entertainment
- high level of interactivity and identification with the story proved by numerous comments in the blog.
