Project Brief:
Damian Bao Casting is working with director Jason Evans on a LGBTQ 2020 Campaign for Mercedes-Benz. We are looking for a current Mercedes-Benz driver (own or lease), who is age 30+ and a member of the LGBTQI community with a history with the brand. The campaign will launch during Pride Month. It will be a video featuring talent’s personal images and videos where they will talk about their relationship with Mercedes-Benz and their life story. We worked on last year’s viral pride campaign. You can view it here.
