Audi Ireland @AudiIreland, recently launched their #WomenDrivers campaign. This began by the brand releasing a number of tweets, highlighting their advocacy initiative: #WomenDrivers.

The phrase 'women drivers’ on social media is a misconception, where negative stereotypes are being made against female drivers.  Through the use of clever tweets Audi Ireland wanted to grab the attention of the twittersphere.

Aine Smyth, Marketing and Communications Manager at Audi Ireland said; 'We at Audi pride ourselves on being a very progressive brand. When it comes to #WomenDrivers we are no different – Arita and her work for Audi embodies what it means to be a #WomanDriver.

She continued; ‘Arita is part of a long line of highly talented and successful women who work within the company. Michelle Mouton was the first female to ever win a major world rally championship event. She is still the last woman to compete in top-level rallying. Currently one of our chief race engineers; Leena Gade, was the first female race engineer to win the Le Mans 24 Hours for the Audi Sport Factory Team. ‘
