#explorewildtaiga: A tour through the Taiga with the G-Class for social media fans

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

One iconic off-roader, two creative people and deserted roads traversing the wilds of Finland: #MercedesBenz teamed up with the Finnish wildlife photographer Konsta Punkka and the Italian filmmaker Oliver Astrologo for a spectacular "Content Creation Tour" through Finland's landscape and nature. Punkka and Astrologo spent eleven days on the road in a #MercedesBenz G-Class, travelling through Punkka's homeland from Helsinki to the Oulanka National Park in northern Finland. The aim of the social media campaign #explorewildtaiga was to bring the Finnish Taiga closer to outdoor fans and G-Class enthusiasts by providing images of an extraordinary off-road trip in the G-Class. The campaign allows followers to experience the tour digitally via the further development of an interactive and personalised Messenger Bot. In addition to this, the campaign offers other experiences with platform-compatible social media content such as vlogs. On the tour, Konsta Punkka set his sights on Finland's "Big Five" - wolf, brown bear, elk, lynx and wolverine - taking a series of impressive close-up shots. Oliver Astrologo captured touching pictures of the landscape in the Finnish Taiga. The first vlogs are online from 8 October. The Messenger Bot starts on 11 October 2018, via Facebook Messenger:http://mb4.me/MBJourneys

"With #explorewildtaiga, we are opening up a new chapter in our digital storytelling. Our followers can witness the G-Class Outdoor Experience in Taiga, Finland from unusual, self-chosen perspectives. Our new "MB Journeys" Messenger Bot lets followers decide how they want to proceed on each day of the online tour. It's almost like travelling in the G-Class with your best friend," says Natanael Sijanta, head of Marketing Communication, #MercedesBenz Cars.

Mercedes-Benz storytelling: up close, intensive, and with a 360-degree view

The campaign offers followers new pictures, videos and other formats for six days, ranging from vlogs to wildlife portraits and landscape shots to behind-the-scenes pictures. The "MB Journeys" interactive Messenger Bot will run until 16 October, allowing users to adopt their own perspective of the events. Each day they can decide whether to focus on the vehicle, the landscape, the wildlife, or the people. To individualise the stories for the users in this way, 85 content pieces have been produced in the form of pictures and videos. A Storytelling Bot of this magnitude and with this storytelling format is a first in the #automotive industry.

With #explorewildtaiga #MercedesBenz uses all the owned and paid-media options on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter et al. The 360-degree campaign can be seen on the social-media channels of #MercedesBenz and the protagonists, and is supplemented by classic PR.

"Our aim is to get as close as possible to our followers," says Natanael Sijanta. "Our work together with influencers is therefore not simply aimed at increasing coverage. We involve them intensively in the content creation. Furthermore, we offer platform-compatible content, including in 9:16 vertical format. With 'MB Journeys', we have also developed our #MercedesBenz Messenger Service further with a personal and interactive format."
