Mercedes Benz, the luxury car maker based out of Germany today utilized the 2012 Auto Expo to launch their new brand initiative, “mb. Inspired”. mb. Inspired, is not something specifically related to the automobile world. The mb. Inspired on the other hand, is a platform launched by the company to recognize people especially the youth population with rising aspirations and fearless about taking risks. Mercedes-Benz also commemorates these young youth inspirational icons through mb. Inspired.
“As India readies itself for globalization, the young India seeks recognition for their talent & uncompromising attitude which have made many stand up and get recognition in their respective fields. mb Inspired is once such platform which shall recognize these individuals & collaborate with them to spread inspiration. This helps us in communicating our brand values of Best or Nothing seamlessly to the Indian consumers”, Peter Honegg, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, said.
