2011-06-10 - Celebrating 40 years of 'Vorsprung'
‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ turns 40 in 2011, and the sentiment in the famous motto – which translates as ‘advancement through technology’ – encapsulates the Audi philosophy just as perfectly now as it did in 1971.
In that year, the famous slogan was launched in a German publicity campaign. London-based advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) first used the phrase in UK advertising in 1983. They realised the slogan’s potential as a way of emphasising German quality and engineering and integrity, at a time when the origins of the nascent brand were not widely known here.
Today,…
