Kill the Gun

We’ve been doing some fair amount of Pro Bono Work recently for Amnesty International (including some Guerilla, see here) and Weisser Ring when I came across this thing from CHOICE FM, a UK radio station on the bockscar blog. This thing has quite a pulse stopping moment at the end.

Citroen is unmistakably German

Citroen is out with a new spot for the UK market. UK car shoppers first consider German cars, then others. Based on this insight, Citroen goes all the way and uses every German cliché about Germany and Germans. It is a bold move for a french brand.

Also refreshingly absent are description of product benefits cluttering the experience. Rather, the whole spot is used to communicate the “unmistakeably German” message with a sense of German humor. The campaign is also supported by a German-Test Website, which, unforunately mistakes Mozart for being not German.

Kudos to Citroen for having the brand balls to move away from boring and uninspired product advertising to category-shifting, unconventional communications!

Thanks, Philip!

It’s not the car that counts, it’s the driver. Join the Army!

Always a trip: Eastern European Advertising. Sometimes, it’s like time-travel in how straight-forward creative strategies are communicated.
