INGOLSTADT, Germany – The Automotive Brand Contest was held for the first time this year.

Audi has not only been crowned Brand of the Year, but also has been honored in seven wide-ranging categories for design, said Stefan Sielaff, Head of Audi Design. We are indeed a little bit proud of this result, because this involves a holistic image of the brand, whether in automotive design or in marketing. Throughout the entire company, we always want to be surprising and to inspire emotions.
