Straight to the top – The T Class is the gateway to the world of Mercedes-Benz, above all for families and people who not only like their day nice and full – but also a full car. Mercedes-Benz has big plans for its new premium small van : The T Class is designed to climb straight to the top of the segment and give the established competition a good look at its tailgate from now on.
Booked by PREUSS & PREUSS to realize the various launch campaigns was the internationally renowned photographer team BEN AND MARTIN, a.k.a BAM, specialized in Transportation x Emotion.
Together with the creatives from PREUSS UND PREUSS, they took the shoot to Cape Town, the result of which is a fresh good vibe mix staging the premium & lifestyle character of the new Mercedes-Benz T Class in emotional and authentic imagery. Production was in the hands of Kai Tietz, who was supported by Cape Town Productions. The look & feel were created in cooperation with Digitales Leben.
