Mercedes-Benz: The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 – A Road Trip Through Morocco

Project Overview

Mercedes-Benz needed content that elevated their luxury SUV and sedan lineup beyond product specs something that captured aspiration, adventure, and the vehicles as enablers of experience rather than transportation. We spent a week across Morocco's Atlas Mountains and Saharan routes, directing a cinematic brand film that positioned the GLS, Maybach, and AMG fleet as protagonists in a larger story about exploration and refinement. The production required coordinating international logistics, location scouting across remote terrain, and delivering content that balanced Mercedes' premium brand standards with authentic storytelling. Handled full post-production including editing, color grading, and sound design to ensure the final piece maintained cinematic quality and brand alignment throughout. The film was featured on Mercedes-Benz's official YouTube channel and used across their digital platforms.
