HERNDON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Audi returns to America’s biggest night in football with a powerful
60-second commercial called “
Daughter.”
Known for cinematic and memorable storytelling, Audi this year delivers
a message of pay equality in the workplace, a theme of universal
importance. “Daughter” will air on Sunday, Feb. 5 during the third
quarter of the big game. San Francisco-based Venables Bell & Partners
created the commercial. This year marks Audi’s ninth appearance at the
game.

“With ‘Daughter,’ Audi continues to push the envelope with compelling
storytelling on a national platform. Pay equality is a big message for a
big stage,” said Loren Angelo, Vice President of marketing, Audi of
America. “As a business built on bold innovation – from LED lighting to
Audi quattro – progress is at the heart of what we do. We’re a brand
that’s ahead of the curve and looking towards the future, just like our
next generation of buyers.”

“Daughter” tells the emotional story of a young girl competing in a
downhill cart race in her home town as her father looks on. As she races
around the track, her father contemplates whether his daughter’s worth
is measured by her gender. He wonders, “What should I tell my
daughter….that she will automatically be valued less than every man
she’ll ever meet?” As he stands hopeful on the sidelines, watching her
outwit her adversaries to win the race, he finds a new-found confidence,
celebrating her victory and the tangible hope for equality in her bright
future. The commercial concludes with a powerful message on
“equal pay for equal work,” and that “progress is for everyone.”

“Daughter” can be viewed now at the Audi
USA YouTube channel
. The commercial was directed by Aoife McArdle,
an award-winning filmmaker, and features the hashtag #DriveProgress,
which Audi will use in the coming year to promote new and ongoing
initiatives.

Audi of America is committed
to supporting pay equality, inclusivity, and the growth and development
of all employees. The company has publically pledged to support ongoing
commitment to women’s pay equality in the workplace and to foster a work
environment that drives equality for all employees. Audi also instituted
a graduate internship program where 50 percent of enrollment must be
female establishing greater equality for our future workforce.

The company also supports external initiatives to develop opportunities
for women at the educational, career and leadership levels in art and
film, STEM, and business that will inspire and secure the next
generation of female leaders. Already this year, the brand collaborated
with longtime partner AFI FEST to create the Audi
Fellowship scholarship program
, which will grant one promising
female director AFI Conservatory enrollment. Audi has been the official
automotive sponsor of AFI FEST for over 14 years.
