The
second of three spots in the advertising campaign for the newly
facelifted Chrysler 300 continues the 'Imported from Detroit' tagline
and features Ndamukong Suh who is an NFL “Rookie of the Year” defensive
lineman for the Detroit Lions. In the new campaign Chrysler is
attempting to deliver stories of people who it believes possess a
capacity for hard work. Carrying the theme launched during the Super
Bowl’s “Born of Fire” commercial, each individual featured in this
campaign has a direct link to Detroit and shares the spirit of the city.
“The individuals in these commercials represent more than success
stories,” thinks Olivier François, President and CEO, Chrysler Brand and
Lead Executive, Marketing, Chrysler Group, “They represent a brand of
determination that Detroit has come to stand for. These are true stories
of people who worked hard and are now able to enjoy the luxury they
deserve; and luxury feels better earned. These three individuals define
the target customer for the all-new 2011 Chrysler 300."
Ndamukong Suh – Homecoming
Ndamukong Suh is the all-pro, NFL “Rookie
of the Year” defensive lineman for the Detroit Lions. After playing
football in college, he was a highly regarded professional prospect and
selected second overall in the NFL draft. Suh has become one of the most
talked about defensive players in the NFL and his play on the field has
quickly made him the next sports icon in Detroit. Suh was born to a
Jamaican mother and a Cameroonian father. In “Homecoming,” Suh proudly
drives through his rainy hometown of Portland, Ore., in his new 2011
Chrysler 300, retracing his humble beginnings. As he drives, we see
brief glimpses of his childhood room with pictures and a collection of
sports trophies from his youth are shown. As Suh pulls up to his
parent’s home, his mother emerges from the house and greets him with a
hug and a kiss.
