featured by WILDFOX RUNNING : ‘Welcome to Beyond’ – the new MERCEDES-MAYBACH EQS SUV photographed by Ole WESTERMANN c/o WILDFOXRUNNING for Antoni

“From mystical to adventurous and iconic. Meet a few of the heroes starring in our new brand campaign for @mercedesmaybach,” is how the agency Antoni presents the eye-catching campaign for the elegant Mercedes Maybach EQS SUV, which was photographed in Bucharest by Ole WESTERMANN c/o WILDFOXRUNNING. The show car of Virgil Abloh and Gorden Wagener has done nothing less than re-contextualize a traditionally urban luxury brand within a distinctly off-road environment.

“The result is a campaign that breathes new magic into the myth of this fascinating brand. Our focus is on the single most iconic moment : The moment you enter a Maybach. In our campaign, this moment is staged full of vivid imagination in iconic and visually stunning imagery. The campaign was launched with our brand-new tagline : Welcome to Beyond.” Antoni tells us.

The motifs were created in parallel to the video shoot with Tempomedia and Director Saad Moosajee (Exec. CDs: Damon Aval & Christopher Hoene; CDs: Matti Lietsch, Matthias Bauer, Catharina Sonnenberg; Senior AD: Gustavo Sato; and Creative Production: Marjorie Jorrot & Aras Sehatkar). Post production of the stills campaign was in the hands of RECOM.

featured by Stefan Eisele Postproduction : ‘The Desire for Performance Luxury : An emotional statement from every perspective’ – The all-electric Vision AMG show car, with retouch by STEFAN EISELE POSTPRODUCTION

The Vision AMG show car gives us an exclusive peek at what the all-electric future of Mercedes-AMG will bring. Amos Fricke staged the vehicle with meticulous detail and visionary flair. GoSee Member STEFAN EISELE took care of post production. Creative Director was Damon Aval from antoni, and art buying was in the hands of Aras Sehatkar. Set design: Leonardo Papini.

The Vision AMG makes an emotional statement from every perspective. This extraordinary show car from Mercedes-AMG offers a glimpse of the all-electric future of AMG Driving Performance. Beneath the breath-taking exterior design of the four-door coupé is the equally extraordinary dedicated AMG.EA platform, which is currently under development in Affalterbach for all-electric performance models.

“The Vision AMG shows in spectacular style what electrification could look like at Mercedes-AMG, while staying true to the brand aesthetic. The study’s extreme proportions create fascination and passion for performance – that’s what AMG is all about. The Vision AMG is an impressive embodiment of the brand’s dual polarity – the interplay of beauty and the extraordinary. At the same time, elements from the future, such as light signatures with the illuminated high-tech grille, underscore the progressive evolution of our design language of Sensual Purity,” says Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
