"We are thrilled to bring the Mercedes-Benz brand to our audience in a way that we know they will be most receptive - through original music. Over the past few months we've worked closely with the talented team at Razorfish to craft what we hope to be a successful promotion. Mercedes-Benz fans and loyal customers expect the best and the CoupeRemixes will prove no exception. The engineers at Mercedes-Benz redesigned the wildly popular C-Class Sedan for 2012, and along with it they brought us the C-Class Coupe - a vehicle similar, yet distinct in its own right. The Coupe Remixes campaign is intended to mirror this approach, delivering an exciting, youthful, refresh on some of today's popular and rising artists," says John Ashenden, SVP, Creative Director & Product Design at Grooveshark.
