Literally. How else would you classify the year we closed an entire city park for 22 days to host a monumental event? That’s exactly what we accomplished for the World Launch of the Škoda Superb. Over 6,000 attendees gathered in the beautiful Praça das Flores in Lisbon, Portugal, for an unforgettable celebration. Today, this transformed square continues to enrich the lives of local residents, a lasting legacy of this groundbreaking global launch.
