The Volkswagen Genuine Parts campaign appears to have been put together by MacGyver, or at least with his help. Each print ad involves something that had to be fixed. Instead of fixing it the proper way, however, people have decided to get creative. For instance, in place of a classic swing seat, someone has attached an outdoor plastic chair. And a broken faucet has been replaced with a modified tea kettle. Considering that these tweaks don't revolve around life-threatening situations, they are more sad than impressive.
Conceived and executed by the South African branch of advertising agency Ogilvy, the Volkswagen Genuine Parts campaign was art directed by Katie Mylrea and Justin Enderstein with creative direction by Jamie Mietz and photography by Guy Nevling. It reads, "Just because it works, doesn’t mean it’s fixed."
