Ford-Werke: This is now: Be part of it!

Ford wanted to interest a young audience in the launch of its new Fiesta in Germany. A social media strategy took advantage of Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, iPernity, and Flickr, asking young Germans to contribute their own digital content that expressed the sentiment “this is now.” The digital content was displayed on the country’s largest LED screen, with text messages, Tweets, photos, and videos flashing across the screen 24 hours a day for an entire month.
