Promotion: communicating with the public in an attempt to influence them toward buying your products and/or services. Now, why the hell would someone be tempted to buy the new A5 just because they saw David Beckham behind its wheel, beats me. I’m not saying that Audi’s promo tactics are pointless -well, unless you support Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, that is. Heck, we’re posting/promoting it so I guess there are a lot of people out there who’ll be lured into buying an Audi A5, S5 or R8 for all the wrong reasons. Hope you aren’t one of them.
