However I doubt whether this kind of publicity efforts affect the brand in a negative way. I remember an incident in my city in which a man was hired to carry a banner ad of a particular brand and walk around the city. People who saw the man, who walks braving the scorching sun carrying the banner, blamed the company and it definitely created a negative publicity. A brand like Volkswagen can do publicity efforts in a more refined way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Advertising Agency:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ogilvy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ogilvy<\/a>, Cape Town, South Africa<\/p>\n<p><strong>Executive Creative Director:<\/strong> Chris Gotz<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creative Director:<\/strong> Gordon Ray<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art Director:<\/strong> Matthew Pullen<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copywriter:<\/strong> Craig Ross<\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibelieveinadv.com\/2009\/08\/volkswagen-park-assist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I believe in advertising<\/a>    \t<\/p>\n<div class=\"cb7893cca652c40442fc9786b3b91706\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/contact\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/digital-marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2022\/11\/Dr-Prem-Digital-Healthcare-Social-Media-Marketing.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Prem Healthcare Social Media Marketing\"><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an example for a cost effective publicity stunt done by a giant brand.
