Challenge

The automotive industry is undergoing a massive transformation with the rise of self-driving technology and advanced in-car operating systems. Mercedes-Benz needed a way to educate their audience—not just about the technology itself but about the cultural shift it represents. Traditional media consumption is evolving, and cars are becoming the next major entertainment platform. However, many consumers and media brands are unaware of the opportunities this shift creates, including new revenue models and engagement possibilities.

Solution

Bored of Ed was brought in with Zync and partnered with Mercedes-Benz to create an educational program designed to illuminate the future of in-car entertainment. Produced alongside a commercial shoot for the latest Mercedes-Benz operating system, this program provided a deep dive into:

  • The new interactive entertainment experiences possible in self-driving vehicles.

  • How Mercedes-Benz is leading the transition toward software-driven car experiences.

  • The opportunities for media brands to capitalize on this shift, similar to how mobile changed entertainment.

Results

  • The automotive and entertainment industries are converging, and Mercedes-Benz is at the forefront of this revolution. By creating an educational program alongside their commercial campaign, we didn’t just showcase new technology—we helped shape the conversation around the future of in-car entertainment.

  • As software continues to drive the evolution of mobility, this moment marks a turning point for both consumers and media companies. Just as mobile reshaped entertainment, cars are now the next platform for innovation, and Mercedes-Benz is leading the way.
