Glad you wrote about this piece that Audi produced. Audi is a company who is embracing progress not just during the election but during the entire year (2008 and now).   I feel that the insert was a creative way to present the various ways in which Audi approaches progress. And both the TV nightly news sponsorship and online ads were indeed progressive.  Their overall media buy was estimated to reach 30 million people and it ended up reaching 70 million. So it looks like their decision paid off.
