Chrysler drives away from focus on TV
Article Abstract:
DaimlerChrysler is cutting back its $1.2 billion TV ad money from the last 4 years to concentrate on entertainment marketing campaigns. Chrysler is in the midst of cost-cutting. The second largest buyer of television commercials in the country, behind General Motors, the auto giant is responding to the continual rise in price of TV ads and the fact that they may be ineffective. Chrysler marketing VP Jim Schroer feels network television is losing the attention of consumers. Broadcasters may see a drop in TV advertising from $8.2 billion to $7.3 billion this year. Peter Arnell, who marketed Donna Karan, and Fusion 5 were hired to help brand the Chrysler cars and trucks with fashion-related promotions.

DaimlerChrysler ads to target investors
Article Abstract:
Bozell Worldwide , Detroit, and Springer & Jacoby, Hamburg, jointly created an ad campaign for DaimlerChrysler for almost everyone except the car-buying public. The campaign is print and direct mail aimed at investment bankers, top executives, journalists, union leaders and dealers. Featured are employees from both Chrysler and DaimlerBenz translated for each local market. Officials decided the investor and executive level market was enough for the time being. To try to reach everyone with all the products would be too confusing.
