‘That’s How We Beat Them All’: The Best Mercedes-Benz Inspirational Video You’ll See All Day
Falling somewhere in between the worst of late 1980’s hair metal and the best of Inspirational Rock, this powerful music video from Mercedes-Benz may be the best piece of corporate propaganda we’ve ever seen. In addition to extolling the virtues of M-B’s whole product line to U2-inspired guitar riffs that would make Chinese product developers cringe, these hard-working rockers manage to insult a fair number of luxury automakers (and the Japanese) in this four-minute bonanza.
It’s only fair to point out that we have no idea of this masterwork actually came from minds at Mercedes, but we have a hard time imagining such depth of purpose for a send-up. Genius either way.

Seems like an internal introduction type of video. Maybe for new M-B employees in training. Probably from the U.S. judging by the accents (and use of English), maybe the U.K. I enjoyed it, but the music/song is really corny. I would expect something a bit more classy from M-B, maybe this is for new tech's in the U.S.?

That's one of the worst videos I've seen in the last two decades!
It's so bad it has the ability to drive down the value of MB shares...

Corny as hell. God i hope mercedes is not behind this because it is the most pittyful display i have ever seen...Actually forget that, if this was made by those guys with out the consent of mercedes then that is the most pittyful display i have ever seen.

I agree with Seyth, this is quite good for a corporate propoganda video. It still doesn't make it good for anything, yet this effort is quite high quality.
I wonder why would MB bother to use such oldfashioned, risky and dull tehnique to stress their motivation? In my world if you are fighting some problem, it's the No1 indicator that you have the problem.

I've produced this sort of messaging for companies, but not this one. It's obviously for internal publics, and I'd say it's geared for employees at US dealerships, but might get some play in Canada as well. Simple messaging, kind of inspirational, and intended to display a "can-do" attitude.
I like the use of the catchy tune. One can almost see the dedicated and newly enthused Mercedes-Benz associates humming this ditty as they walk out of conference rooms. I've got no problem with that, especially if it makes my next trip to the service department more enjoyable.
I hope they used the "one goal" message throughout the rest of their training.

Doubt this would go over well in Canada... I can't believe how white and male that video was ( having a few female backup singers almost made things worse ). The "No one who looks like you works here" <s>message </s> under-tone wouldn't be popular.
And was the TLA ever spelled out? I didn't notice, but have no urge to watch a 2nd time to see... I.C.T. was it?

Rod, welcome to Earth. What planet are you from?

Ahahahahaha. I was laughing so hard. That was very entertaining in a stupid-funny kind of way.

It's obviously an internal propaganda video that wasn't for public release...They must have different ethical standards though, whoever it was made for. Lines like Audi ..bye bye; and the Japs, they just cry - would be viewed with disdain and as in incredibly poor taste as a racial slur in North America and certainly in Asia. Wow!

The rectangle shaped face needs links of londonjewelry that adds width and camouflages the length of the face. A highchoker reduces the length of the face, particularly if the neck is toolong. In addition, a 16¡å or 18¡å necklace that ends in a ¡°U¡±flatters this face. Long hair and narrow links of london is perfect match which can impress others as a fair lady.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG
Boots ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to
attend and enjoy a days racing. Sure a student with a part time UGGS
upside job would have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as
expensive as this. I see that Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month
and are charging UGGS whitely boots 5e entry fee. Its up to other
tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better value to the
normal racegoer…!Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted
to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG
Boots posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I
hope you nike sb post again soon!

boldly created all over Ed Hardy clothes to make them distinctively eye
catching. Women’ Ed Hardy clothing have similar themes like the men’s clothes

A long-simmering lawsuit between eBay and Tiffany is in the discovery phase, tiffany necklace the jeweler accusing eBay of not doing enough to keep Tiffany rip-offs out of its online auctions. Tiffany argues that eBay is not just a renter of space because it markets goods available on its site, including home-page ads one Mother’s Day touting Tiffany silver that turned out to be fake. If the case, which is likely to go to court late this year, goes Tiffany’s way, eBay would face a major business model Frank Gehry Fish necklace long-simmering lawsuit between eBay and Tiffany is in the discovery Elsa Peretti Starfish necklace, with the jeweler accusing eBay of not doing enough to keep Tiffany jewellery out of its online auctions. EBay says it removes any knock-offs when they’re brought to its attention, but it’s only providing a marketplace, and so it never sees or touches the goods on auction. And with 78 million items for sale on eBay at any given time, only the trademark holders have the knowledge to determine what’s fake and to monitor their trademarks, an eBay spokesman says.tiffany necklace argues that eBay isn’t just a renter of space because it markets goods available on its site, Tiffany Beads necklace home-page ads one Mother’s Day touting silver jewellery that turned out to be fake. It also has placed Google and Yahoo ads touting tiffany pendant for sale on its auctions. “Those are indicative of the kinds of things they are doing that show they are not just a renter of space,” says James Swire, lead attorney for Tiffany and a partner at law firm Arnold & Porter. In two years, Swire says, Tiffany found 19,000 counterfeit tiffany charms, and today three-fourths of the goods billed as Tiffany on the site are fake
