Audi has introduced a new ad campaign for the 2017 Audi A4.  The slogan:  “Intelligence is the New Rock and Roll.”  The campaign showcases the new era of A4 vehicles with a ton of futuristic features focusing on intelligence as a brand differentiator.  I highlight this campaign because it occurs to me that intelligence is also the hallmark of companies that realize the significance of activating social employees in their organizations.  For brands, the “new rock and roll” is a focus on delivering more authentic communications both internally and externally.
