MINI is embracing Thomas Tuchel – the first-ever German Manager for
the England Men’s football team – in a way only MINI could do; by
reserving a prime parking space for him, right outside Wembley
Stadium.
Ahead of his first game in charge on Friday 21 March, MINI is
celebrating the winning combination of English spirit and German
management – something MINI knows a thing or two about.
Since the BMW Group relaunched MINI in 2001, the brand has
perfected the balance of English charm and German precision, proving
that when you have great ingredients, all you need is a fresh
perspective and a few new ideas.
In a mischievous stunt that nods to a longstanding holiday
rivalry, MINI has taken German tactics to the next level, reserving
Thomas Tuchel a car parking space right outside Wembley Stadium before
fans arrive.
The twist? What better way to reserve a car parking space for a
German, than with a towel. The playful stunt riffs on the well-known
stereotype of German holidaymakers claiming the best pool-side sun
loungers at the crack of dawn; except this time, the British-born MINI
brand has scaled up to ensure Tuchel has the best parking space in the house.
MINI proudly acknowledges both its British heritage and its
German ownership – it just werks!
With Tuchel outlining his vision for the future of English men’s
football, MINI's recent stunt demonstrates one key point - whether
it’s football, parking, or poolside politics, German management can go
a long way.
