BLUE BLOODS & CHEVROLET

“The Blue Bloods campaign was executed very well in terms of the on-air and on-ground integration. The grandeur of the NYPD motorcade showcased the premium quality of the Chevrolet brand, especially apt for us since we are approaching our 100th year anniversary this year.”

David Pang, General Manager, Chevrolet, Alpine Group

Campaign Objectives

Blue Bloods is a brand new series that premiered first and exclusively on AXN on 21 February 2011. The Chevrolet brand was already integrated within the program. So Chevrolet Asia took the opportunity to develop a 360 branding campaign anchored around their sponsorship of Blue Bloods Season One on AXN.

The goal for Chevrolet Asia was to increase brand visibility and strengthen the brand association with the show. Beyond extensive on-air exposure, the integrated campaign for Blue Bloods included digital extensions and on-ground activations.

Content Integration & Branding

The launch teaser campaign for Blue Bloods consisted of a series of entertaining and intriguing news features branded “ANN”. The teasers were featured on-air as well as on a specially created ANN and Blue Bloods website as well as on social media. ANN Breaking News featured ambient stunts (Motorcade + NYPD Cops) created in partnership with Chevrolet featuring the Chevrolet Cruze model and the Chevrolet showroom.
