VIDEO: Our Interview with Micheal Jopp - VP of Sales & Marketing, Passenger Cars Mercedes-Benz Malaysia


Hello folks! This is something different. An interview with Mr Micheal Jopp, the Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Passenger Cars of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia. This was done during the launch of the 2019 refreshed Mercedes-AMG GT R & GT C sports cars at Sepang recently. It is quite different from most normal interviews as I don't ask anything about sales numbers or figures. Only about AMG, Mercedes-Benz and their cars, old and new.



I also asked Micheal about his previous posting, which was over in India where he also handled sales and marketing of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. Were there any differences in the two markets? What of AMG cars and what does he think about heritage as well as an approach to luxury from the days gone by.


This is also my first video interview for Motoring Malaysia. It is quite different in terms of how I got about recording it. I actually worked alone on this and placed multiple cameras to capture at least another angle so that it isn't quite fixed or static. And with my other videos, there are a lot of other scenes, or B-Roll that explains the subject better. 

You can also see parts of the new Mercedes-Benz EQS concept in the video as well as photos of old AMG cars. We also talked abit about the two AMG coupes launched on that day!
