AUDI and the competition

With its new marketing strategy, Audi uses a card allowed on American soil: openly mocking competition to promote its product. The firm has imagined and created a mini series of Internet advertising called "Meet the Beckers."

If you haven't met the Beckers, you should now. In late September, a three minute video gave a look inside the life of the Becker family, preparing for their annual Thanksgiving tradition. Initiated by Audi, the family features several stereotype car drivers. Daddy drives a Mercedes, brother a convertible BMW and so on, all pretty dysfunctional, except for the Audi guy. It's a fun and interesting concept, recognised by Youtube that featured the first episode on it's comedy channel worldwide. The Beckers mini serie now continues with the just released second episode.
