In November 2017 talks to form Germany’s next coalition government collapsed when one party (FDP) walked out of marathon negotiations after four weeks. Sixt – known for provocative political campaigns – stroke again. With a print ad in Germany’s biggest newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung the very next day.

"A motif that makes clear how Sixt has managed to set new highlights and make precise landings over decades. A prime example of daily and popular communication in daily newspapers.
