Mercedes-Benz's Glaser Talks Sports, Cars At U.S. Open

Glaser-and-Greenberg-AWhen it comes to sports and experiential marketing, Mercedes-Benz USA has a full plate this year. 

The automaker, the "official vehicle" of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, and presenting sponsor of the Men's Singles Championship, has a big footprint at the U.S. Tennis Association Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens, where it has nearly as many vehicles on show as the center has courts. 

The automaker is using the event to showcase vehicles like the forthcoming CLA concept, a sleek car meant to bring in a new buyer. Even before the tournament ends, Mercedes-Benz will roll into Manhattan to activate against Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. 

Then there's golf, with Mercedes-Benz's presence at the PGA Ryder Cup in September.
