In collaboration with publishing house Penguin Random House and Ogilvy, car brand Audi has launched this clever campaign to get customers reading an important but often neglected piece of literature on World Book Day- their car’s manual. 

The thoughtfully-crafted creative involved the production of seven beautifully designed Handbook Novels – fictional stories written by renowned authors, based on keywords highlighted from the original Audi Handbooks. 

These keywords and the place they appear in the handbook formed the skeleton of the stories, appearing in the novels in the exact same places and pages as in the manual. Users can then jump from the stories to the real manual by simply clicking on these key concepts. 

Additionally, some chapters are customised based on the Audi model to fit specific specifications from each manual. This initiative underscores Audi's commitment to promoting culture, and offers an original and surprising way drivers can learn more about their vehicles.
