The Challenge
Audi dealers had a valuable opportunity to build awareness around the 2026 Q3 and Summer of Audi Sales Event during the critical spring and summer selling season.
The challenge was giving dealers a way to expand their digital advertising presence with premium video placements while complementing their existing marketing strategies.
The Solution
Audi and Stream Companies partnered to offer dealers a Summer of Audi Heavy Up from May through August.
Dealers could choose from three flexible packages, each designed to align with their existing digital advertising strategy. Every package included Connected TV Live Sports giving dealers access to premium video inventory across popular streaming and sports platforms.
Stream Companies also provided all Audi dealers with a Buy 3 Months, Get 1 Free promotion. This gave participating dealers the opportunity to extend their campaign for an additional month while maintaining their planned media investment.
Campaigns reached audiences across top placements including ESPN, Peacock, FS1, DIRECTV, Fubo, NBC Sports, and MLB.tv, putting Summer of Audi messaging in front of viewers across premium streaming and live sports environments.

The Summer of Audi Heavy Up generated strong video engagement across participating dealerships.
