Duel at the highest level
To coincide with the TV debate, Audi released an epic commercial that has gone viral.
On Monday night, the two presidential candidates Trump and Clinton faced each other for the first time in a televised duel. Audi used the big stage - around 100 million Americans watched the first of three landmark TV duels - for the big screen. For the 90-second spot "Duel", the agency Venables Bell & Partners assembled a production team of stars from the advertising and film industry.
You can see that in the result. The TV commercial will be broadcast twice more during the two remaining duels and is generating impressive click figures on YouTube in the meantime: "Duel" has been clicked on over 600,000 times since its premiere. To find all 18 "Easter eggs" - hidden clues and allusions - you will probably have to watch the commercial several times anyway. One example: A waiter is rammed in the kitchen. He is carrying tacos, which is an allusion to Trump's Mexican preference. Enjoy... and "choose the next driver wisely." (hae)
