Case Let Punch Dub
• The campaign was built around the classic Punch Buggy (or Slug Bug) game that many consumers played in the heyday of the original VW
Beetle where the first person to see one of the iconic vehicles would yell “Punch Bug” and playfully slug his or her friend. Deutsch put a new
twist on the game by encouraging consumers to punch someone when they saw any VW model which was a clever way to increase attention
to, and awareness of the VW product line. It is important to note that one of the major benefits of the campaign is that it worked very well
online both through social media and on the Volkswagen web site. An online version of “Punch Dub” also debuted on the popular Facebook
social network site on Super Bowl Sunday which encouraged people to dole out virtual “slugs” to friends and family for a chance to win a
weekly prize (6-month leases on specific VW vehicles listed online) and the grand prize of a new Volkswagen CC sedan. Players could pick
any one of thirteen VW vehicles, customize their punch and choose a Facebook friend to punch. The more friends they punched the better
the chances to winning prize. The game was also available on the Volkswagen of America website and an online guide to the game was also
available which players could use to develop and hone their punching technique.
• The PunchDub campaign was also supported by heavy advertising in traditional media including the Super Bowl where the first TV spot was
one of the most popular commercials to air during the game. Within a few days the commercial had received more than 1 million online
views while the game had 5,000 registered users and nearly 30,000 punches were thrown. The two-month campaign ran for two months
and included outdoor, radio and newspaper advertising as well as an extensive public relations campaign that generated feature articles and
stories in BusinessWeek and The Wall Street Journal as well as in local newspapers and on local television stations across the country. The
campaign was also extended to Volkswagen dealerships as special point-of-sale-kits were developed to promote a National Sales event
called “PunchDubDays” which included special offers on various VW models.
