Overview

Description

A driver waits in the Audi while his accomplices rob a bank. A nerve-wrecking situation. Suddenly, an attractive woman gets in the car. She knows what is going on! Even crazier: she doesn’t seem to care! Not even an explosion in the bank throws her off. Her role remains mysterious up until … she introduces herself as the next owner of the Audi – and wants to be ensured that he looks after the car properly. Like this Audi is advertising its Audi Approved :plus used cars, which promise guaranteed and inspected safety to the same extent as new cars do.

Execution

When casting the actor it was important that he will be conform with Audi’s brand image as well as fitting the role of an authentic detective.

For the dog, a French bulldog was chosen because that particular breed is known to have a strong character. The primary focus was to play around with its strong character as to put the self-confident driver in his place. The British-distinguished style supports the dog’s good manners in contrast to the donut-eating private detective.
