With 188KW of power, the Volkswagen’s Golf R is the fastest Volkswagen ever. To create hype around this awesome vehicle, we hired people to walk around busy public areas with prosthetic mouth pieces that mimicked the physical effects of G-Force. These eye-catching promoters wore branded t-shirts that supported our message and prompted people to test drive the new Golf R. For the price of a quarter-page magazine ad, we created an unusual activation that communicated the New Golf R’s extreme power in an interesting and amusing way.
