Ahead of the world premiere of the new MINI Coupé at the IAA International Motor Show, BMW is launching a campaign to engage more fans of the tiny car before the launch of the new two-seater model, the latest one in the MINI family. The marketing initiative dubbed ‘Another Day. Another Adventure,’ developed by Amsterdam-based agency BSUR, is rolling out across TV, radio, print, outdoor and the social media platforms, inviting drivers of the small cars to live their life to the max.

Cars, along with bottles and shoes, often become canvases for artistic experiments. The fleet of vehicles, transformed into vividly coloured pieces of art is now joined by Ford Focus, which got a graffiti makeover, executed by six artists in Glasgow on August 22. The car featuring one-of-a-kind imagery was created during 6-hour session and will be displayed for the next month at the city’s Independent Recoat Gallery, as part of the Ford Centenary Tour, the exhibit of 10 models, which represent the brand’s 100-year history in the UK.
Greenpeace is giving green-minded filmmakers, both aspiring and professional ones, an opportunity to contribute to its one of the biggest recent climate campaigns. Earlier this summer, the environmental organization launched an initiative against Volkswagen (which strives to become the most eco-friendly car manufacturer), which is opposing cuts to CO2. Greenpeace is calling attention to the company’s environmental policy and encouraging people to sign a letter to Volkswagen’s officials—the organization released ‘Star Wars’ inspired viral spots, launched a dedicated website, dropped spoof dark banners in big cities across the globe and organized demonstrations by VW stormtroopers in European cities including London, Brussels and Wolfsburg to get more ‘jedi’ to join the Rebellion (so far, there are 312,900 people in). Now, the brand is inviting activists to do something bigger than just signing the Manifesto—on September 17, Greenpeace is kicking off an international film contest, asking entrants “to expose the real VW—the one behind the billboards.”
