MediaCom went home with the Grand Emvie for their Volkswagen Vento launch campaign "People read newspapers. Till we made the newspaper talk". This innovation, which involved a light-sensitive voice chip pasted on the most read English newspapers in India had created advertising history a few months back; catapulting the Volkswagen entry-level sedan to one of the most desired cars in the segment.  The execution involved a full page advertisement, which "spoke" to newspaper readers as it was unfolded.
