Audi has got something interesting for the little would-be drivers. The German automobile manufacturer has released a children’s storybook that illustrates rich history of the company. The 28-page novel titled “It Couldn’t Be Done: An Audi Story” was designed by Ty Mattson of studio Mattson Creative, who worked on it side-by-side with the advertising agency Venables Bell & Partners.

Audi highlights simplicity and a neat approach in designing cars. A new campaign, developed by BBH, celebrates the “uncluttered” style the brand has used in creating its A3 sedan and in an indirect way takes on rivals of the model. The new promotion, which is set to be launched in the UK next month, revolves around the idea of using minimum visual resources to reach maximum effect in performance.
A few months after the announcement it’s developing e-sound for its cars, Audi has presented a new format of automotive retail, Audi City, which opened in London close to Piccadilly Circus. The store keeps in pace with time and technology and offers visitors the entire Audi model line-up digitally. This is how the brand allows consumers to view all its products in a compact space.
Following its Fashion Week, Mercedes-Benz keeps pace with trends in other spheres as well. The automaker is launching a collection of furniture at the current Milan Furniture Fair running from April 18 to 22. The untypical for an auto producer project is collaboration between the Mercedes-Benz Style division and furniture manufacturer Formitalia.
