"We use the element of opening the door as a metaphor for access to the world of Audi and for the new independence of women," says Giovanni Perosino, Head of Marketing Communications at Audi AG.

Audi branching in the Middle East

Audi is eager to welcome the new customers and their preferences when they are buying a car. The company has so far experienced the highest demand in the Middle East in the C and D segments.

The new Audi A8 will also be available in Saudi Arabia in the second half of 2018 and will complement the premium brand’s top segment.

Audi worked together with experts from the Middle East on the video. The film will be presented on the company's social media channels during the Saudi Arabian team’s last group match at the World Cup on 25  June.
