Audi of America: advert-body-2 by Venables Bell & Partners

Date: Nov 2017

‘Parking Lot’ is the holiday TV commercial that Audi will be releasing this year. The commercial focuses on some of the pain points that go along with the holiday shopping experience – ie finding a spot in the parking lot.

It features two fathers, in search of the ‘it’ gift for their kids, duking it out in their Audi Sport vehicles for a coveted parking space at their local mall. It elevates the level of competition for the holiday season with precision automotive.
