Mercedes-Benz Super Bowl Commercial Is Directed By The Coen Brothers
All the fans of the Coen Brothers are looking forward to their work for the Super Bowl on February 5. The brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen, have directed a new Super Bowl ad, their first in 15 years. The commercial is a 30-second spot for the Mercedes-AMG brand which is a new point of differentiation from the luxury automaker, according to AdWeek.
"We are now switching from AMG as a proof point for Mercedes-Benz performance to AMG as its own brand," explained Drew Slaven, vice president of marketing for Mercedes-Benz USA. "It's still part of the Mercedes-Benz family—it's called Mercedes-AMG—what we're really beginning to do is put the AMG piece of it front and center." The high-energy commercial is a tribute to the 1969 film Easy Rider; the film's star, Peter Fonda and its famed soundtrack, Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild."
"[The AMG brand] is known by performance drivers but not as much by a broader community, and that's why we went to the single best way to [introduce it to a broader audience], which is a television commercial in the Super Bowl," Slaven said. "Peter Fonda plays a critical piece of the storyline, and he's known as someone who still epitomizes what it is to love driving performance and the open road" The said ad will debut during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LI.
