Basic description of the project:
China, 2011-Facing increased competition and falling market share, Volkswagen decided to change not only their advertising, but also their products. Instead of building cars for the people, they would start building cars with the people. We called it: ‘The People’s Car Project.’A co-creation program that re-invents how cars are conceptualized, designed and built. We would inspire the people to develop ideas and provide tools for them to realize them. Then distribute their creations to stimulate voting and commentary and finally pass the best ideas to Volkswagen experts to evaluate and ultimately co-create the next People’s Car.
