I meant Bruce really from a marketing challenge POV. You're right, the R8 sells itself. I'd be fine with some small assignment like A4 direct mail rentention for people coming off lease. Okay, so maybe somewhere between that and an R8 new owner communication stream.

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> Ahhhhh I cringe when I see ad / PR emails like that...

Just do a "Hey here's a new spot from Audi and the new TT you may want to check - PS, might need a TiVo / DVR unless you've been putting carrot farms out of business lately." and be done with it

At least there's humor in it despite the obvious fact that it's still a mass blast email...

*shrugs* but thats just me

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> Screw all these little girly man slogans

"Vorsprung durch Technik", nuff said (screw 'em if they can't speak German)

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> Well I had no problems with the ad; unless something comes before the "faster than a mousetrap" frame and before the "dual clutch" frame. Then I think it sucks.

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> I'm in the ad biz as well and I agree with Al. Interesting concept demonstrating the DSG tranny, but just too gimmicky. Plus, I don't think this is the first ad requiring viewers to have a DVR to get the payoff.

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> supposedly there's another "real" ad where an A4 driven by a stunt driver parallel parks between two LS460s at high speeds, saying something like Audi, for those who can park themselves.
I want to see that one!

Dude, I would totally get an alias. Something like "NotAlNavarro".

Even if I went with something less obvious, you would know me by my trail of gratuitous Caterham references.

Al Navarro

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> Okay, I'm in advertising and I have a first gen TT (225 6 speed coupe), and I think this spot blows.

Mostly because it's totally riding on GE's coat tails. But also because A) the vanity URL sucks, and B) they agency sold out and put that "Missed it? Rewind." slate in there...why not have a rim shot in the sound too.

Ray et. al...you will have mail soon.

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> I'm just waiting for Al Navaro to pitch his services, since we all know from Davey's trip to Mao's backyard that someone at Audi actually reads the site.

P.S. Al - have you thought about whether Audi could restrict your commenting if you had their account?

SwatLax

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> I think it's pretty cool

]]> <![CDATA[Audi's Venables Bell Provides More Evidence Of Clueless Automotive Advertising]]> Good ad... very attention-grabbing...

...but still not as good as the sister car's "Pimp Mein Auto" or "My Fast" ads (i.e., VW GTI).
