SFX: The gongs from the BMW mnemonic, to the tune of 'We Wish you a Merry Christmas'
SFX: BMW mnemonic
Brief Explanation
The brief was to find an innovative way of wishing all BMW drivers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The BMW 'Gong Gong' mnemonic is one of the most instantly recognisable brand sound devices. We took advantage of the mnemonic’s fame by using the gongs to play 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' and ran the ad during the festive season.
