While other brands have taken the week after Super Bowl off, the Volkswagen team has stayed busy, busting out a bunch of new work. There are several new ads set to be released in the next few weeks. The first of these is ‘Mask’. A big, tough-looking guy walks into a convenience store while still wearing his ski mask, looking suspiciously like a thief. After happily paying for his goods and leaving the store-worker very confused, we find out why the man is wearing said mask: ‘With the new VW Beetle, everyday is an open-top day’.
This commercial, introducing the new Beetle convertible, was directed by Biscuit Filmworks’ Noam Murro, who recently also directed Deutsch’s Taco Bell Super Bowl spot.
