C is for Chrysler

Entered in Multi-Platform Campaign

Objectives

-Leverage the partnership between Chrysler and Sesame Street.

-Harness the power of Sesame Street and its beloved characters to give Chrysler Pacifica a new platform and audience.

-Tap into the nostalgia of people who grew up with the show and are now minivan-buying parents to a new generation of Sesame Street viewers.

Strategy and Execution

The C Is for Chrysler campaign's social strategy was to develop a cross-platform approach to drive engagement, further enhance brand and vehicle awareness and sustain attention on the Pacifica throughout the year.

We kicked off the campaign by creating a thematic driving force through a series of four narrative videos, Listen! Drive! Surprise!, which use a game-show storyline and character traits to introduce the Chrysler Pacifica and its award-winning features.

To expand on this initial narrative, we developed six standalone short-form videos that allowed us to provide flexible, dynamic content, incorporate celebrity talent, and engage our audience in a less feature-forward way.

From these 10 informative and entertaining videos, we generated hundreds of micro-content pieces, including cutdowns, GIFs, Instagram Stories, polls, multi-photo posts and stills. This micro-content was customized, repurposed and distributed across all our social channels and extended to cultural and holiday-themed posts.

Ultimately, Chrysler and Sesame Street united to create a world that allowed our favorite characters to experience the features and versatility of the Pacifica.
