We wanted to let Canadians know that Mercedes-Benz is a proud supporter of Movember and prostate cancer research.

Here we show how the accelerating, cornering and braking power of a Mercedes-Benz affects one’s moustache. Karl Benz’s moustache would be proud.

Clients always want their logos to be bigger. So we obliged...sort of.

In order to show Mercedes-Benz’s continued support of prostate cancer screening and research, we came up with this very appropriate (but very inappropriate) visual. Hey, just be thankful we didn’t go with the dipstick idea. Many thanks to Philip Rostron for shooting this.

For this spot, we decided to poke some fun at other car commercials. Okay…so maybe it’s more of a gouging stab than a poke.
“Surround Sound”
We didn’t just make a traditional cinema spot. We used the surround sound system to emulate the SL circling the audience. Kudos to the client for letting us show a black screen for 17 seconds.
For the 2012 Autoshow, we created a series of newspaper ads that positioned Mercedes as the show’s greatest attraction. An “autoshow stopper,” if you will.
