To coincide with the market launch of the new city sports car – available as fortwo, cabriolet or forfour – smart inaugurated an extensive, worldwide marketing and advertising campaign on Friday.
“With the smart BRABUS, smart fans can discover the city in an extremely sporty and exclusive smart variant. The campaign is aimed at highlighting this aspect. We are presenting a sporty, dynamic and exclusive car which is truly out of the ordinary,” Michael Schaller, Head of Marketing Communication & Brand Management at smart, said.
He added: “The feeling of driving a smart BRABUS is hard to describe. You have to experience it on the road. It is, quite simply, a traffic highlight.”
Exclusive test drive
The emphasis is firmly on the experience with a viral film entitled “Most Xclusive Test Drive” demonstrating what a unique feeling it is to drive a smart BRABUS. The film shows three different groups of unsuspecting people who just wanted to test drive the smart BRABUS – a family, a couple and a group of friends. Just as they leave the smart dealership, a police escort is waiting to accompany them on the entire test drive. A camera captures the surprised reactions of the drivers and their police escort on this highly exclusive test drive, which can be seen in the film.
To support the market launch of the new smart BRABUS on an international scale too, smart will be staging a mobile smart BRABUS Live Escape Game in Hamburg, Vienna, Barcelona and Rome from September . The participants are randomly selected people in the respective cities who are interested to play. In groups of two to four people, they will be trapped inside the BRABUS Live Escape Game with the smart BRABUS Xclusive and given a set length of time to escape. Within this set time, the players must solve interactive puzzles with and about the smart BRABUS to liberate the car from the garage. The participants will get a small prize, but that is going to be a surprise.
