Kirsten Stagg, Head of Marketing, ŠKODA UK, said: "The song and campaign's popularity goes to show how the partnership touched a nerve with people in 2018 - those who believe in and understand the importance of celebrating individuality. This campaign was purposely different from the category norm, and delivered a truly unique approach for ŠKODA; one that embodied our Driven by Something Different spirit."
