Volkswagen Singapore has launched a campaign centred on its philosophy of environmental conservation. ‘Think Blue.’ is a global initiative from Volkswagen and is focused on encouraging eco-friendly behaviour by making it fun. In Singapore, Tribal DDB has together with Volkswagen, created a year-long campaign that will be rolled out in phases.
The greener lifestyle means choosing eco-friendly technology, protecting nature by using recyclable materials as well as being a health nut. In support of the Nissan LEAF, Nissan’s 100% electric automobile named the ‘2011 World Car of the Year,’ Nissan North America teamed up with Hollywood movie star Ryan Reynolds, who has joined a roster of elite fitness enthusiasts, athletes and coaches in the new integrated fitness-focused program dubbed ‘Innovation for Endurance.’
The world is experiencing the power of ‘Think Blue.,’ Volkswagen’s international environment-oriented campaign, which was launched in Europe in 2010 and over the last months has been rolling out in the USA, Canada and Australia as well. With a huge focus on ecology, the brand just can’t miss big days for those who care about the nature—ahead of Earth Day (April 22), in Canada the brand released a simple but smart advert encouraging to check the tires’ air pressure regularly, and on the occasion of World Environment Day (June 5), Volkswagen and DDB Sydney developed an integrated campaign with the ‘Why be environ-mental when you can be enviro-normal?’ tagline for Australia.
