DKW Marketing + 1937


By the mid 1930s DKW was competing with the Opel Olympia as the best selling budget auto in Germany. The four-stroke and steel bodied Opel was a much more ‘modern’ vehicle so DKW needed to invest a lot of money in marketing to counter the argument that DKW cars were old fashioned by comparison.

A mediados de la década de 1930, DKW estaba compitiendo con el Opel Olympia por el coche mas economico en Alemania. El Opel de cuatro tiempos y chasis de acero era un vehículo mucho más "moderno" de modo que DKW necesitaba invertir mucho dinero en marketing para contrarrestar el argumento de que los coches DKW eran anticuados en comparación.
