“140 Years of Innovation” campaign

How technology translates into human stories.

April 15, 2026 – Mercedes-Benz is launching a comprehensive 360° global campaign bringing the “140 Years of Innovation” anniversary year and its “Welcome home.” brand promise to life.

The campaign places customers and their everyday experiences with Mercedes‑Benz at the centre, translating technological features into meaningful moments.

It’s the comfort and safety of a Mercedes‑Benz that keeps a child sleeping soundly on rough roads with the AIRMATIC air suspension. It’s the calm a driver feels in heavy traffic, due to the heat- and noise-insulating acoustic glass feature. And it’s enjoying fresh air in the cabin after eating in the car, thanks to the AIR-BALANCE Package. These among other universal scenes are captured in 19 different moments – each story depicts the Mercedes‑Benz core values of technology, safety, comfort and design. Above all, vehicles with the three-pointed star serve human needs and enhance customers’ daily lives, becoming trusted companions. The campaign’s hero vehicles include the new S‑Class, the E‑Class, the all‑new electric GLC and the award-winning new electric CLA.

Provides a comprehensive 360° visual dive into Mercedes‑Benz innovations that address customer needs in daily life by providing comfort and safety.

Mercedes‑Benz is dedicated to creating the world’s most desirable cars and is continuing the company’s biggest product launch with recently introduced new models. The ongoing activations of the 140 Years of Innovation anniversary celebration include this comprehensive global campaign, which invites viewers to experience Mercedes‑Benz visually in an emotional way.

A new brand tone: the look and feel of “Welcome home.”

The “140 Years of Innovation” campaign introduces a new brand tonality across all touchpoints – a homecoming to core Mercedes‑Benz values. Its visual language is approachable, relatable and warm. It creates a consistent and recognisable emotional experience with a cohesive tone and emotional temperature that connects the moments into one living world. Emotions are expressed through creative elements such as the natural colours and lighting as well as close camera perspectives that catch authentic, everyday situations. The campaign reflects genuine human insights and translates real product benefits into authentic emotional moments that resonate with customers’ everyday lives. At its core, “Welcome home.” goes beyond a place – it’s the feeling of belonging, trust and the reassurance of being exactly where you’re meant to be.

The “140 Years of Innovation” campaign fuses with the “Welcome home.” brand promise and creates emotional moments.
