„Die Zukunft gehört den Agenturen, die sich nicht als Dienstleister, sondern als Partner verstehen. Strategisches Denken, kulturelle Relevanz und die Fähigkeit, Business-Lösungen zu entwickeln, sind entscheidend, um in einer komplexen, digitalen Welt erfolgreich zu sein.“ In der neuen Folge von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Alexandra Notz mit Giuseppe Fiordispina, Marketing Director bei CUPRA und SEAT Deutschland, über digitale Kreativität und die Zukunft von Agenturen. Im Gespräch fordert Giuseppe einen Paradigmenwechsel: Agenturen müssten mutig und strategisch agieren, um Marken langfristig erfolgreich zu machen. Dabei sei es wichtig, Unternehmen tief in den Lebenswelten ihrer Zielgruppen zu verankern und echte Beziehungen aufzubauen. Wie das funktionieren kann, zeigt CUPRA. Die Marke, die 2018 als Challenger Brand gestartet ist, setzt auf moderne Technologien und kulturelle Relevanz. Eine Mixed-Reality-Anwendung bringt Fahrzeuge virtuell in Showrooms, bevor sie physisch verfügbar sind. Das Projekt vereint digitale und physische Erlebnisse und bietet Kunden ein interaktives Highlight, während es Händler*innen ermöglicht, frühzeitig in den Verkaufsprozess einzusteigen. Giuseppe betont, dass technologische Innovation allein nicht ausreicht. Sie muss durch eine enge Verknüpfung mit kulturellen Themen ergänzt werden. CUPRA arbeitet daher gezielt mit Partner*innen im Bereich Musik, Gaming und Elektromobilität zusammen. Diese Kooperationen sollen die Marke dort verankern, wo sie für ihre Zielgruppen relevant ist. Die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Videospiel Forza Horizon macht beispielsweise zukünftige Fahrzeugmodelle frühzeitig virtuell erlebbar. Die Zukunft der Agenturen hängt laut Giuseppe davon ab, ob es ihnen gelingt, nicht nur Werbung zu kreieren, sondern umfassende Businesslösungen anzubieten. Viele Agenturen liefen Gefahr, sich auf ausführende Tätigkeiten zu reduzieren, wenn sie den gesellschaftlichen und strategischen Anspruch vernachlässigten.
