I was fortunate enough to play a part in the making of “Kush” -an A-list celeb fest of the who’s who in the hip hop music video scene. As the Global Lead of Integrated Production at Team SapientNitro, my group was tasked to orchestrate a product placement deal for Chrysler Corp to introduce the new Dodge Durango “Citadel” to a very specific audience with a “Hollywood” splash and Dr. Dre’s Kush music video featuring Snoop Dogg (actually exiting the luxury sport utility) was the perfect vehicle (pun intended).

Fiat 500’s breaking ‘Simply More’ North American campaign has me wanting more. More substance. More tension. More talk value. More controversy. More meat. Speaking of meat-where’s the beef any way? I mean can you say safe-pedestrian-B.O.R.I.N.G.? After exiting stage left and distancing your brand from the largest consumer market in the world over 28 years ago (circa 1983), the best you can do to make a memorable splash down after re-entry into the U.S. is simply more? More like a crash landing if you ask me.
