B2B: AND VAN DAMME

BADM 104 Social Media and Business 
11/24/14
• Volvo collaborated with action movie 
star, Jean Claude Van Damme to 
advertise their new dynamic steering 
technology. Volvo came up with a very 
creative way to show that their new 
steering system makes their customers 
driving experience much more 
comfortable and safe.
•
• Volvo made a commercial 
with Van Damme preforming 
a dangerous split between 
two trucks that were moving 
backwards. The trucks were 
being driven by two of 
Volvo’s most skilled drivers. 
Van Damme was hooked to 
safety lines that weren’t 
visible in the video, but his 
feet were not secured to the 
side mirrors of the trucks.
• When the commercial was put up on YouTube it went viral 
very quickly. The first week it had about 7 million views. 
Now it’s well over 76 million views. 
• This advertisement was very successful for Volvo 
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7FIvfx5J10
Volvo recently uploaded another video to 
advertise their new gearbox I-Shift dual 
clutch which is based on sports car 
technology. They had one of their trucks 
race a Koenigsegg One:1. The 
Koenigsegg is the worlds first supercar. 
Volvo bet that their truck could complete 
one lap faster around a racetrack before 
the Koenigsegg could complete two. The 
Koenigsegg completed two laps before 
the Volvo truck could complete one, but 
only by a couple of seconds. This video 
had over a million views in just a week.
• You can have a successful 
campaign as long as you 
include someone or 
something that covers a 
broad demographic 
• Social Media (YouTube) 
can be more effective than 
traditional media 
• Creativity is key
