Kano Mercedes Benz Advert



The Advert was filmed in Portugal, Porto and Lisbon where Kano and film actress Wendy Glenn are being chased by the old bill. The campaign called #YOUDRIVE was to give voters the opertunity to decide Via Twitter, what route they should take with tweet: #evede or #hide. According to  Abbot Mead Vickerse and Maxus the campaign was designed to promote the car to a younger, second-screen savvy audience. According to GRM Daily the TV audience were unsure about who was in the advert as many thought it was actor Noel ClarkeThe shooting Photography was done by Anthony Mantle who has worked on projects such as Slum Dog Millionaire, 28 Day's Later, 127 Hours and The Last King Of Scotland. The story directed by Yann Demange From London, who has also worked with Britney Spears and Eric Clapton. Kano is From the same grime scene that  artists such as Wiley, Dizzee Rascal and others emerged from, Kano coming from East London with that cheeky character  music quality and the pedigree to unleash his insight on grime tracks. It's refreshing to see an artist from the councils and high crime rate areas of the UK appearing in new media, this gives an example to what grime has done for so many. Anything is possible for Kano maybe even a new Black Taxi Video to promote mini cabs? who knows, but one we thing we doubt is Kano getting a Routine Check by the police  or refusing to pay the cab fair ever again seen as advertisement pays well.
