"Audi is not a fear-based brand," says Stephen Berkov, the director of advertising. He compares a campaign like "Art of the Heist" to a jet engine turned on its end, "sucking people into the intake." Although he declined to disclose his ad budget for launching the A3, it probably totals $15 million to $20 million, of which about $3 million to $4 million will go to "Heist." Audi will dedicate the rest to traditional TV and print buys.

"Nonetheless, even if the early gamers drawn into "Heist" don't buy a car this year, Cude says, Audi believes in the importance of letting prospective customers know that the company is doing something cool and highly advanced -- not the same old ad campaign. "
Experts in so-called "buzz marketing," designed to create word of mouth, say campaigns like Audi's "Art of the Heist" represent the future and can surpass traditional ads in regard to maintaining consumer brand-interest.
"If I can involve one person really deeply in my brand in 50 cities, vs. 50 people in one city, I'll take the former every time," says Mark Hughes, author of Buzzmarketing:
Get People to Talk About Your Stuff (Portfolio, 2005).
プロモーションにおけるARGはまさに、バズ、 人と人との「会話」を作る手法なんだなぁと思いました。
Jon Berry of research company Nop World, and author of The Influentials (Free Press, 2004), argues that word of mouth is worth more than twice what it was in the 1970s in affecting consumer purchases, and it's 150% more influential than newspaper and magazine advertising or articles.
これからいよいよ経営難に陥るだろうと言われるマスメディア、 そして広告。 the art of the heist は一つ、 新しい広告の形を提起した 今見ても面白い、代表例だと思います。
