Mercedes-Benz Vans has enlisted iconic punk rocker Henry Rollins for a new campaign that challenges the ‘tough’ stereotypes associated with van owners.

The Tough Conversations campaign sees rocker, actor, radio host, writer, and social commentator Henry Rollins take a road trip across Australia to uncover what toughness means to average Australians.

The campaign includes a podcast series, radio partnership, PR, eDMs, social and online content, as well as a one-hour TV documentary. It was created by The Royals.
