In 2011, to celebrate 125 years of Mercedes-Benz’s innovation, as a true innovator, we used an innovative way to tell a story with the first ever use of augmented reality and we asked one simple question; ‘What if?’Imagine the world without an innovator; without the first car, without a durable car, without ABS, or without a fuel saving car. Our goal was to engage consumers in an innovative way at Thailand’s biggest automobile event; Bangkok International Motor show, where other brands aim to attract male consumers with attractive women.1.8million people came to the motor show and saw things differently. The campaign generated 10 million baht worth of free media. As a result; 1035 cars were sold at the show and more importantly we have changed the way the motor show should be.
