SUMMARY
To make the Ford Fiesta the best known B-car not yet for sale in America, Ford knew its target customers, Gen Y'ers, didn't want to hear from them, but they did like to hear from other people like themselves. Insert the Fiesta Movement. 100 socially vibrant 'agents' driving 100 pre-launch Fiestas and documenting their experiences via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and other social networking sites. After 31,000 pieces of original content, 3.7 million YouTube views, 2.8 million Twitter impressions and 117 million consumer engagements the results speak for themselves.
