Fiat is
taking a new turn after its early celebrity endorsed advertisements for
its U.S. relaunch, this time a new commercial with started to roll out
last night, dubbed "Immigrants", plays on the Fiat 500's Italian
heritage. The cars are featured in the spot cliff-diving and leaping
into the sea as they make their way from Italy to the U.S. "'Immigrants'
tells the story of 'Fiat's resurgence in America in a manner that is
smart, unexpected and stylish while introducing viewers to our product
portfolio," believes Fiat CEO Olivier Francois. "We are proud and
thankful to be back in this country and we wanted to capture the
viewer's attention in a way that is impactful, visually-appealing and
entertaining, while reinforcing our distinctive Italian origin." The
commercial was filmed in Italy and New York. The scenes in Italy were
shot in Amalfi and Sorrento and feature colourful landscapes and key
landmarks. As the vehicles arrive to the U.S. the commercial shifts to
highlight areas in New York such as the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges,
Madison Square Park and surrounding neighbourhoods. "Immigrants" is set
to an Italian song, 'Torna a Surriento' (Come Back to Sorrento) sung by
international artist, Arianna and composed by Flavio Ibba. As the
vehicles make their way to the shores of New York, the music is remixed
from the classic Italian tune to a contemporary sound featuring artist
Pitbull. The commercial will be available in both a 90-, 60- and
30-second version and was created in partnership with The Richards Group
of Dallas. |
