Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has launched a ‘Knowledge is Power’ marketing campaign for the launch of its Amarok pick-up featuring outdoor, press, online and retail activity along with social media, mobile and nationwide outdoor campaigns.

The new Amarok officially went on sale on May 9, which co-ordinated with the launch of a series of press and online ads aimed to drive consumers to a dedicated channel on YouTube, www.vwamarok.co.uk

This features a 360 degree viewer and films demonstrating the Amarok’s intelligent use of power when it was given the opportunity to be the first pick-up to be used to demolish a 140 tonne steel tower.

Mark Hopkins, marketing communications manager, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles UK, said: ‘The new Amarok is packed with power and intelligence, and brings Volkswagen standards of quality and efficiency to the pick-up market.

"We wanted to achieve something extraordinary to demonstrate this for its launch, and by working with the right experts and taking a scientific approach to demolishing a 67 metre steel chimney, we’ve shown the maximum strength and power of the Amarok."
