Maserati, the luxury Italian car manufacturer, has today announced that it will be using 10Duke, the online and mobile multimedia technology provider, as part of the launch campaign for the new Quattroporte Automatic. Using 10Duke’s unique technology, Maserati prospects can receive exclusive video footage of the Quattroporte direct to their mobile, which they can show or send to their friends or work colleagues. The new Quattroporte Automatic received its world première at the North American Auto Show in Detroit in January.

Michael Leavey, the Chief Executive Officer of 10Duke, comments: "This is a great use of interactive technology to creatively engage with Maserati’s audience, in a way that is appealing and convenient. The viral element of the service allows users to share the Maserati footage with friends and colleagues, supporting the overall campaign and building brand awareness. It demonstrates how brands can start to connect with consumers in the rapidly growing mobile space."
