CB Exclusive - Volkswagen has built upon its history of insightful and amusing advertising to announce its new Tiguan SUV, via an integrated campaign. The campaign will run in Australia and South Africa, with both executions developed by DDB Sydney.

The campaign challenges one of the most common stereotypes associated with SUVs, highlighting that the Tiguan's stylish design, spacious interior and class leading technology make it easy to forget you're behind the wheel of a "family car".

VIEW THE SPOT

Says Ben Welsh, chief creative officer, DDB Group Sydney: "We've all
been there. So caught in a moment that you forget everything else around
you. That's the insight that's at the heart of this campaign. A couple
enjoying all the best that the new Tiguan has to offer that they let
their guard down reverting to life without responsibilities, even if
just for a fleeting moment."

Says Ben Wilks, general manager marketing, Volkswagen Group Australia:
"The Tiguan is a brilliant and practical family car, and with premium
design characteristics, it also has a wide ranging appeal.  We really
wanted to highlight that and we are thrilled with the fully integrated
campaign we've developed.

"We are glad to be working with
partners in DDB that have a great understanding of our brand and our
desire to bring fun into life - whether through our products or our
communications."

The campaign runs nationally and includes TV, cinema, digital, print, OOH and social.
