Sign upAnna Russell, Audi’s national brand and retail marketing, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the incredible precision and performance of not just the Audi A1 but all our smaller cars. We love the fact that size isn’t a compromise when it comes to Audi.”
Ian Heartfield, chief creative officer of BBH London, added: “There is no greater example of two entities matching each other’s moves perfectly than a pair of synchronised swimmers. Swapping two people for an A7 and an A1 seemed like a compelling way to make the point that Audi DNA runs through the whole model range.”
The campaign follows hot on the wheels of Audi's first ad marking its sponsorship of Tottenham Hotspur and will be extended to VOD and cinema later in the year.
