  3. The Story Behind The Empire Mercedes-Benz is a German automotive brand that is renowned for its luxury cars, buses, coaches, and trucks. The company has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. In 1886, Karl Benz invented the first gasoline-powered automobile, which was named the Benz Patent Motorwagen. In 1901, the company that would become Mercedes-Benz was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, who had developed the first Mercedes car. The company was named Daimler-Motoren- Gesellschaft (DMG). In the early 20th century, DMG became a leading manufacturer of luxury cars and commercial vehicles. The company’s cars were known for their advanced technology, reliability, and performance. During World War I, DMG produced aircraft engines for the German military.

  4. In 1926, DMG merged with another German automotive company, Benz & Cie, to form Daimler-Benz AG. The new company continued to produce luxury cars and commercial vehicles under the Mercedes-Benz brand. In the 1930s, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 500K and 540K models, which were among the most luxurious and expensive cars of their time. During World War II, Mercedes-Benz produced military vehicles for the German army. After the war, the company was heavily damaged, and its factories were dismantled as part of the war reparations. However, Mercedes-Benz quickly recovered and resumed production in the 1950s. In the following decades, Mercedes-Benz continued to innovate and develop new technologies, such as the safety features that are now standard in most cars, including the seatbelt and airbag. The company also expanded its product line to include buses, coaches, and trucks. Today, Mercedes-Benz is one of the most successful and respected automotive brands in the world, with a reputation for luxury, quality, and innovation. The company is committed to developing sustainable mobility solutions and is actively investing in electric and hybrid technologies.

  5. Examples of Mercedes Ads & Its Digital Marketing Strategy Between the Lines Mercedes-Benz is renowned for its impactful advertising campaigns that showcase its features and unique offerings. By examining some of its successful advertisements, we can gain insight into the brand’s marketing strategy.

  6. Knows the Target Market Inside Out Mercedes-Benz focuses on knowing its target market inside out. In this case, they are targeting a young audience with a campaign to promote their first electric SUV, the EQC. The campaign features Grammy award-winning singer The Weeknd, who is credited as the creative director of the ad, which also features his hit song “Blinding Lights”. The ad, created by Mercedes-Benz’s lead European agency Antoni Garage in Berlin, starts with a child seeing a man charging his car and asking “Woah, do you drive electric?” This scene is intended to capture the curiosity of younger audiences who are interested in sustainable technologies. The ad then shows a series of montages featuring Mercedes-Benz vehicles from different decades of the company’s history, building on the brand’s heritage and prestige. The Weeknd then appears and simply says “I drive a Mercedes”, emphasizing the brand’s appeal and relevance to a younger generation. Overall, the ad is a clear example of Mercedes-Benz’s marketing strategy to appeal to younger, tech-savvy audiences with a focus on sustainability and prestige.

  7. Promotes New Features Mercedes-Benz’s marketing strategy highlights its use of popular culture references to promote its products. By referencing a popular TV show like Stranger Things, the brand is able to appeal to a wide audience that is familiar with the show and its themes. The ad features a nostalgic setting and a group of kids with bicycles, which creates a connection with the audience’s emotions and memories. This connection helps to create a positive association between the product and the audience, which can lead to increased interest in and sales of the product. By highlighting the parking feature of their car, Mercedes-Benz is able to showcase the technology and innovation behind their product, while also appealing to the emotions and experiences of their audience.

  8. Reflects Sensitivity on Gender Issues Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity. In honor of Pride Month, Mercedes-Benz unveiled a mural in Toronto that addresses transphobia. The mural is a representation of the brand’s values of acceptance and love for all. The ad, called “Painted with Love,” was created by BBDO Canada and aims to create an emotional connection with the audience by promoting self-expression and individuality. The ad not only showcases the brand’s support for the LGBTQ+ community but also highlights the importance of social issues in the brand’s marketing strategy.

  9. Combines Data with Style Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new technology called Digital Light, which uses high- definition headlamps to improve road safety and communication with other drivers and pedestrians. The technology, unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, incorporates over one million micro-mirrors to project directional and warning icons onto the road surface. The headlights are equipped with integrated cameras and sensors that detect other road users and evaluate the data using powerful computers. This allows the headlights to show pedestrians and provide assistance to drivers with symbols such as low-grip surface, construction site, rear-end collision, lane-keeping blind spot, and speed symbol. Digital Light is an innovative solution that enhances road safety and communication for both drivers and pedestrians.

  10. Foregrounds Personality in Advertising The “Just Like You” campaign was launched by Mercedes-Benz to promote its new Mercedes A-Class. The campaign, created by Antoni Berlin, emphasizes the unique features of the car and how it is tailored to meet the needs and preferences of people living in the digital era. The campaign’s name, “Just Like You,” suggests that the car is designed to be relatable and accessible to a wide range of consumers. By highlighting the car’s ability to understand and connect with its audience, Mercedes-Benz aims to appeal to tech-savvy consumers who are looking for a car that reflects their lifestyle and values.

  11. Offers More Space In its “Life Gets Big” campaign, Mercedes-Benz highlights its new “All-New T-Class” vehicle that provides ample space for living and prioritizes safety and comfort. The campaign showcases a diverse range of people, including families with children and pets, sports teams, and individuals using wheelchairs, highlighting the vehicle’s ability to accommodate different needs and lifestyles. By featuring a diverse group of people, Mercedes-Benz aims to position itself as an inclusive and versatile brand that caters to a wide range of customers.

  12. Keeps You Awake In this commercial, Mercedes-Benz aims to create an emotional connection with the audience by blending dreams and reality. The brand highlights the importance of safety and responsibility while driving and introduces a new feature called “microsleep detection,” which helps drivers stay alert and avoid the risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Overall, the ad presents Mercedes-Benz as a brand that not only offers luxury and comfort but also prioritizes safety and innovation in its vehicles.

  13.
