Diesel’s Creative Team has executed ground breaking advertising campaigns in collaboration
with a variety of talents, from promising newcomers to leading names in the worlds of
photography and art direction. Diesel’s campaigns have generated shock, laughter and
disbelief, as well as shelf-loads of awards. The Ads by Diesel were full of irony, intelligence,
provocation and appeal. ''Be Stupid'' is one of the most famous Diesel brand campaigns.
Here, stupidity does not really mean in the traditional sense. It means to be gutsy,
spontaneous, creative and unpredictable. These are the core ideas that symbolise the Diesel
brand. The “Go with the Flaw” Ad campaign highlights the out of the box thinking of the
brand and showcases how its design eccentricities adds to the beauty and appeal of its
products. The Ad campaigns are beautifully shot and the cinematography and editing shows
the high quality and thought put behind them by the team. The clearly portray what Diesel
brand is about i.e. quality and taking a different path and breaking the norms. Hence this
completes the Diesel marketing mix.
