Volkswagen: Polo Vivo Commercials

This is our latest retail campaign for the Polo Vivo from Ogilvy Cape Town. We tried to show how competitive the price is in a fun and entertaining way. The Polo Vivo is all about Living Large. We coined a term in studio for its saturated look as "Life in Technicolour".
The best part about making these ads was building the life size game show sets and then having a go at some of them ourselves.

Volkswagen: Tiguan Explore Tab

To try it out go to: http://apps.vw.co.za/new_tiguan/
The above campaign recently won Ad of the Month from the Creative Circle here in South Africa.

To help position Volkswagen’s new Tiguan 4×4 as a vehicle made for adventure
and exploration, we created a unique rich media experience on the South
African Volkswagen site.
The ‘Explore Tab’, prompts viewers to explore further. When users interact with the banner by zooming out of the website, they reveal that the Tiguan site is actually surrounded by numerous other working adventure websites. So you can figure your path to adventure right there and then. Because in a Tiguan, it’s easy to go anywhere and do anything.
