Budget win: Exxtra to advertise for Audi - spot with soccer team
Exxtra Kommunikation, part of the Y&R Group, has won a pitch against the competition and will handle advertising for the German automaker going forward. The account win covers the entire budget and will provide the Zurich-based creative team with work in the areas of traditional, digital, and sponsorship advertising, as well as point-of-sale initiatives and direct mail campaigns. A TV commercial featuring the Swiss national soccer team has already been produced.
The Ingolstadt-based car manufacturer wants to join forces with the Swiss footballers. To mark this partnership, Exxtra Kommunikation has developed a TV commercial to showcase the claim "Vorsprung durch Technik". The Swiss national team players are involved in a parking lot game by coach Hitzfeld, in which they use their Audi models to trickily set off a relay of balls. Perfectly timed, fast and precise. - Until goalkeeper Benaglio coolly "catches" the ball with his convertible roof.
