VW - The Original Click
“Pretty nice idea from Volkswagen using the Youtube channel. You start watching a video that shows how so many great songs have been copied, destroyed and reposted. These clips sometimes get more clicks than the originals. So in this VW video the ads that get displayed give the message that VW uses only 100% Genuine Parts. If you click on the banner it redirects you to the original song from the original artist. Nice use of Youtube.”
