Audi Skid Marks Become Ad For Soccer Match

In what looks, at first, like yet another demonstration of an auto manufacturer’s obsession with proving its vehicles are high performance race cars even though that speed and agility is never needed on public roadways, DDB Spain has created an interesting promotional sponsorship device for Audi’s association with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

The two teams, both of which have Audi as an official vehicle sponsor, are set to go head to head next Saturday, December 10 in the Spanish Derbi. A video, which looks like a couple of Audis just drifting around a few pylons turns out to be a pretty ingenious approach at creating a layout for an ad which ultimately appeared in print. Watch the video to see the result.

Psychology says adults who describe themselves as socially awkward aren’t lacking a skill — they’re often people who never learned to perform inauthenticity smoothly enough to pass, who find small talk genuinely difficult not because they have nothing to say but because they can’t quite make themselves say things they don’t mean, and in a world that runs on social performance that specific form of honesty looks, from the outside, exactly like a deficit
