# Flyer-Alerting Driver Ads The Mercedes-Benz Vito Campaign Shows that 'Dangers Arrive Unannounced' By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-vito-campaign References: [ibelieveinadv](http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/2012/11/mercedes-benz-transporter-grandma-kids-deer/) & [s-f](http://www.s-f.com/) The [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love) Vito campaign is not a reflection of real life. As its tag line states, "Dangers arrive unannounced" rather than with pasted flyers promoting their occurrence. No matter how many people wish that type of alert system existed, it never will. What does exist, however, is the vehicle's Adaptive ESP. Installed in commercial transporters, it helps to mitigate any swerving that can result in terrible accidents. Created by Scholz & Friends, an ad agency based in Berlin, Germany, the Mercedes-Benz Vito campaign shows that with the Adaptive ESP, people will know when a transporter is near. It was cleverly art directed by Joerg Waschescio with creative direction by Martin Pross, Matthias Spaetgens and Robert Krause. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Flyer-alerting Driver Ads:** Opportunity for advertisers to create campaigns that utilize innovative methods for driver awareness. - **Adaptive ESP Technology:** Potential for further development and implementation of this technology in commercial transporters to prevent accidents caused by swerving. - **Clever Art Direction:** Demand for creative professionals who can effectively communicate brand messages through visually engaging campaigns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertising agencies to create unique and attention-grabbing campaigns that utilize innovative methods for driver awareness. - **Automotive:** Potential for vehicle manufacturers to integrate Adaptive ESP technology in commercial transporters to enhance safety features and prevent accidents caused by swerving. - **Creative Services:** Demand for creative professionals in the advertising industry who can develop visually engaging campaigns that effectively communicate brand messages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Retro Transport Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-transport-safety.md) - [Vampiric Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love.md) - [Cheeky Electric Vehicles Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hijacks-competitors.md) - [Auto-Centric Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relax-we-care.md) - [Unconventional Vehicle Control Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-joy.md) - [Entertainment-Integrated Luxe Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-v.md) - [Travel-inspired Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/road-and-beyond.md) - [Automotive Parking Lot Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parking-lot-pop-up.md) - [Creative Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri.md)
