The German Public Relations Association (DPRG) and the F.A.Z. Institute have honored the “The Chris Morrin Show” of the Mercedes-Benz MYVAN channel on YouTube with the International German PR Award in the web video and image movie category. The award presentation ceremony was held in Frankfurt/Main last Friday, January 23, 2015.
“The Chris Morrin Show,” the latest social content format from Mercedes-Benz Vans, was developed together with fischerAppelt advertising agency in Stuttgart. In this campaign, the explanatory video format that is well-established on YouTube was carried over to the world of vans. The fictional host of the program, Chris Morrin, explains complex themes, such as the right way to load a van, in a brash, humorous, and unconventional way. He also gives tips for everyday van use.
