VOLKSWAGEN South Africa has been announced as the Digital Brand of the Year at the 2022 Annual Bookmark Awards.
Mzansi’s most loved car brand emerged victorious alongside their creative partner, Ogilvy, which was awarded Best Digital Agency.
In a statement released on Monday, 1 August, VW said the awards were presented to Volkswagen and Ogilvy for delivering digital excellence in the Volkswagen “Mswenko” and New Polo “Game On” campaigns.
