We are Family

Content Creation

Ogilvy made an episodic series for Volkswagen positioning the Teramont as the ultimate family car by dramatising the everyday chaos of family life.

Case in 60 seconds

Volkswagen needed to position the Teramont as the ultimate family car in a category full of idealised, interchangeable family-car ads.

Real family life is chaotic, not calm, and a family car proves itself in exactly those messy moments.

Dramatise the chaos of family life across an episodic series and show how the Teramont helps you navigate it.

Ogilvy produced an episodic series capturing family-life scenarios and the car's role in each.

Why Ogilvy's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Trading idealised family imagery for recognisable chaos made the Teramont's usefulness feel real.

  2. 2

    An episodic format gave room to show multiple family scenarios rather than one compressed spot.

  3. 3

    Tying each episode back to the car's role kept the product central to the storytelling.

  4. 4

    Anchoring the campaign in everyday family life matched the audience's lived experience.
