Fiat Launches 500C Digital Campaign

Fiat, with the support of its media agency Mediaedge:CIA, has launched a digital campaign for the new Fiat 500C car, as part of a wider new car launch across various channels. The online campaign is designed to raise awareness of the launch of the car across a trend-setting, young, free-thinking, stylish audience.



Fiat and MEC are targeting potential customers across a range of digital channels incorporating several media firsts for both the car manufacturer and the digital marketplace. Key activity will include taking over the welcome screens and homepages of highly visited portals such as Yahoo and AOL. The campaign also sees a weekly takeover on the site Handbag.com with an interactive cursor that will turn from the usual arrow into the Fiat 500C.

FIAT 500C Celebrity Launch Party with Florence & The Machine

Europe celebrates the Fiat 500's birthday

The new Fiat 500 was launched in unforgettable style on 4 July 2007. Since then, the second generation of the model that has symbolised the history of Italian cars has quickly conquered everyone's hearts. On July 4, alongside the launch of the Fiat 500C, the model will mark its second birthday with a series of events, running until July 7, which will involve the major European cities and five customised Fiat locations up and down Italy.


On July 4 at Milan's modern and trendy Fiat Open Lounge, there will be an exclusive party in the presence of the 500C allowing revellers to celebrate by dancing to renowned DJs from the Italian club scene. Also, on the evening of July 4 the Fiat Playa at Punta Marana, in Sardinia, will host the Oscar del Calcio football awards in the presence of some of the sport's leading lights. During the reception for this event, the guests will celebrate the second birthday of the new Fiat 500 (as well as the new 500C) by cutting a special cake. Finally, on July 5 at the Fiat Chalet in Madonna di Campiglio, one of the most stylish and well-kept ski resorts in north-east Italy, there will be an exclusive party for 500 guests. Obviously, the 500C will be among their number.

The party for the 500 will also take place in Paris, where from July 2-7 a 17-metre-long, 6-metre-tall model of the car can be seen at La Défense, one of the most enchanting and modern parts of the French capital. Inside this huge 500, whose interior has been built to scale, you can admire a dramatic starry sky created by clever special effects; on the outside, a huge lawn will welcome the new 500Cs that will themselves become part of the show with events such as the "Smile & Win" competition, with the prize of a fabulous weekend in a 500C for the best smile captured on board the new car. The events in Paris will be the first of three stages that will also take the huge” 500one” to London at the end of August and Berlin at the end of September.
