Volkswagen showcases its ‘family’ of cars in new campaign
Volkswagen has unveiled a new multi-channel campaign, created by DDB Sydney, celebrating the “family” of Volkswagen vehicles.

The commercial is set at a large family gathering, with the family members arriving in different Volkswagens suited to their family size, set against a jaunty song to the tune of ‘the ants go marching in’.
Dylan Harrison, executive creative director, DDB Sydney said: “The best Volkswagen work has always been a product experience elevated to a human experience. To communicate the vibrant diversity of all of the models in the Volkswagen family, creating an equally real family was irresistible. Add a dash of the Volkswagen take on life and we’ve produced a campaign we’re immensely proud of.”
The launch of the campaign marks Volkswagen’s 60th year in Australia.
The 45second TVC is complemented by a series of 60second interviews with the families in which they discuss how the car fits in with them.
The campaign will launch on Sunday.

Nice ad to show off their wide range of vehicles.
I wonder when they’re going to fix their faulty DSG design and customer service problem.

Love the ad – the chosen demographics in each car is perfect – my favourite line is ‘peter wishes he’d had the snip’ – hilarious.
