#PlaceToBW is a new campaign initiated by Mercedes-Benz in partnership with the state of Baden-Württemberg and Tourismus Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg. The campaign started on 22nd August when bloggers and journalists went on a road trip through Baden – Wurttemberg, driving Mercedes vehicles. Until the end of October they will publish on Social Media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) all the posts and the pictures under the hashtag #PlaceToBW. The purpose of this social media campaign is to show a fascinating portrait of company’s home region.
For many years Mercedes-Benz has been among the most popular and successful social brands, and the study conducted by the Social Bakers further enforces this statement. The company established itself as brand publisher, thanks to the high-quality “content telling” on the digital network.
