The implementation
Phase 1: Going viral: „Wolf sighted“
To attract maximum attention, we shot short mobile phone videos with real wolves at night at the VAF site with deliberately poor image quality to emphasize the authenticity. We then shared this video via a straw man on Facebook and the whole thing went viral.
- Countless comments
- Viral sharing of the video
- The local newspaper Frankfurter Neue Presse reported on the video

Phase 2: Viral – Volkswagen Frankfurt reports „Wolves sighted”
In this step, we then spread the word through the client’s own social media channels that young wolves had been seen on the premises. Here, too, we achieved a high level of attention.

Phase 3: Viral launch of the official video on Facebook
With different videos that we shot with several wolves inside the customer’s used car center and on the grounds, we explained the background of the campaign. We explained the joke of “Young Wolves” as the used cars and highlighted their advantages. With these videos we achieved a gigantic organic range.

Phase 4: Communication resolution at POS
Parallel to the launch of the videos on Facebook, various advertising media were installed at the POS. As an eye-catcher from the outside, we hung XXL facade banner. In the interior we had different floor and window stickers, ceiling hangers with statements combining the characteristics of wolves with the respective vehicle models and classic end customer flyers with the advantages of the young wolves. In addition, all used cars were equipped with „young wolves“ number plates.
