Forget about tenderness and caring, all you will want is gratification this singular vehicle can give you. It is not lust, mind you, but simply an appreciation for the finer things in life. Conceived and executed by [Australia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-meters1)-based ad agency DDB, the Volkswagen Touareg ad campaign shows just what happens when people 'fall in lust' with this new model. Older car makes go up for sale, dogs become enamored and men lose all ability to function normally. Although a simple concept, the Volkswagen Touareg ad campaign really drives home the point that doesn't just get you from point A to B. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury-driven Advertising:** This trend highlights the rise of ad campaigns that emphasize the luxury and gratification a product can provide. - **Sensory Branding:** This trend explores the use of sensory experiences in advertising to appeal to consumers' senses and create a memorable brand connection. - **Emotional Advertising:** This trend focuses on ad campaigns that evoke strong emotions and desires in consumers, such as the desire for luxury and the finer things in life. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** This industry can leverage the trend of luxury-driven advertising to position their vehicles as a symbol of status and indulgence. - **Advertising:** This industry can benefit from the trend of sensory branding by developing unique and immersive ad experiences that engage consumers on a sensory level. - **Luxury Goods:** This industry can tap into the trend of emotional advertising to create compelling campaigns that evoke desire and appeal to consumers' aspirations for a luxurious lifestyle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vampiric Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love.md) - [Reality-Bending Car Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargurus-latest-ad.md) - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Surreal Car Care Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-how-you-car.md) - [Adventure-Inspired Auto Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-for-what-youre-made-of.md) - [Unconventional Vehicle Control Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-joy.md) - [Consumer-Centric Luxury Car Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-motors-canada.md) - [Creative Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri.md) - [Humorous Automotive Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-have-you-been.md)
