		 Its first 
		TV advert was widely panned as one of the worst car-celebrity 
		endorsements ever; however Fiat North America is too far down the road 
		with actress Jennifer Lopez now to back away and a brand new spot tries 
		to cash in on the Chrysler Group's only advertising success so far, 
		Born of Fire. Unfortunately the new minute-long spot is quite badly 
		executed and the result appears to be very little more than an ego trip 
		for Lopez. It also cements the Fiat 500's demographic as being a 
		female-target-audience-only car, pushing it further away potential male 
		buyers, a curious early launch stage strategy for Fiat North America to 
		embark on. The commercial, titled My World, is voiced-over by 
		Lopez, who is seen driving a 500 Cabrio as she travels through the 
		streets of Manhattan to the Bronx. It started airing yesterday and also 
		plugs a song from her new album. "The primary objective of My World 
		was to explore the story of Jennifer Lopez, who is a cultural icon. We 
		watch as she leaves Manhattan and makes her way back to the Bronx, where 
		she grew up and continues to be inspired by," believes Olivier Francois 
		– Head of Fiat and Chief Marketing Officer and Brand Marketing 
		Communications, Chrysler Group, who has been brought into fight the 
		fires at Fiat North America. Unfortunately the serial celebrity-gazer 
		François cannot distance himself too far from the placement as he was 
		previously quick to take the credit for involving Lopez in Fiat North 
		America's marketing strategy. “The commercial tells the story of how the 
		simple elements of our upbringing can help explain who we are, where 
		we’re going and serve as a source of inspiration to achieve our goals in 
		life," he adds. "That drive and determination is the common thread that 
		is shared with the Fiat brand and our philosophy that Life is Best 
		When Driven."  |
