Volkswagen has launched a new ad campaign to introduce its newly launched limited-edition carline Polo GT Sport. The campaign, conceptualised by DDB Mudra West, sticks to the theme of ‘Respect’ to reel customers for the sportier derivative of the Polo GT.

The ad film begins with the car crossing the nation’s border, arousing curiosity and doubtful glances but it keeps moving forward. We see the car manoeuvring through narrow lanes and crowded alleys, inviting stares and admiration. In the end, we see a crowd of people with their faces painted and carrying the flag of Bangladesh, obviously on their way to a game of cricket. The car finally comes to a stop and the occupants, all sporting the blue of Team India, come out. The car stops in front of a stadium and we see everyone celebrating and cheering as one, irrespective of their nationality.

Commenting on the campaign and the theme of ‘Respect’, Kamal Basu, Head, Marketing and PR, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, said, “The Polo GT has been an integral part of the Volkswagen portfolio in India and we recently strengthened the proposition with the introduction of the Sport edition. Retaining the legacy of ‘Respect’, the new TVC seamlessly demonstrates the powerful product attributes that conveys a strong and bold message.”

Speaking about the element of rivalry in the communication, Rahul Mathew, Creative Head, DDB Mudra West, said, “You don’t even have to go through the specs to see that the Polo GT Sport packs a serious attitude. It’s this attitude we wanted to capture in our communication. And what better way to bring attitude to life than through some good ol’ rivalry.”
