- Fiat Chrysler’s Jeep
Fiat Chrysler Automobile’s Jeep brand is looking for a new agency of record.The brand hasn’t had a lead agency since it parted ways with GlobalHue earlier this year, and has been instead leaning on its extensive roster for work in recent months.Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, or FCA, brands include Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Maserati. FCA as it exists now was formed in January 2014 after Fiat, the automaker based in Turin, Italy, acquired 100% ownership of Chrysler Group. Fiat first bought a majority stake of Chrysler Group in 2009.FCA will soon launch a new Alfa Romeo car called Giulia, which was unveiled in June and is slated to go to market next spring. Alfa Romeo re-entered the U.S. in 2014. As many as 10 agencies pitched ideas for the sedan’s launch, though they’re still awaiting a decision on the winner.The pitches are internally led.Earlier this year, the company put its digital business for brands like Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep into review, and incumbentSapientNitro was expected to defend.The opportunity to work on Jeep is also significant because the company is in the midst of a five-year plan to grow the brand globally. By 2018, Jeep expects to sell 1.9 million vehicles annually, up from just over 1 million in 2014. Last year marked the fifth consecutive year of sales increases for Jeep, both in the U.S. and globally.The company will be launching localized production in China and Brazil.FCA is the nation’s eighth-largest advertiser with US$2.25 billion in both measured and unmeasured media spending last year, according to Ad Age’s Datacenter. Jeep is FCA’s biggest brand by U.S. measured media spending, according to Kantar Media.
- “Brahmita y lo que surja”/ Paraguay
“Brahmita y lo que surja” is new Oniria TBWA new commercial for brand Brahmita with the overall creative direction of Camilo Guanes. Part of an insight: in Paraguay, when somebody goes out or hangs out with friends, it is typical that from one small story emerge new ones, always unexpected. And this is how that person ends the day in places where he/she would not have expected to end and with people who did not count. The 360 campaign will feature two TV commercials. The first releases tomorrow.
