FIAT 500L sponsors Modern Family on Sky through Maxus Partnerships


London, UK – WEBWIRE

The FIAT 500L is sponsoring the popular comedy series Modern Family on Sky 1 (new episodes air Mondays 8pm) with TV idents to reach an audience of diverse families and raise awareness of the car as the practical, stylish and fun family vehicle.

The deal was brokered by Maxus Partnerships, with media planning and buying from Maxus and creative from krow Communications.

The deal marks the next stage in sponsorship featuring the FIAT 500L which previously sponsored One Born Every Minute on Channel 4. FIAT 500L sponsorship aims to communicate the range to families looking for a vehicle that meets their diverse needs, yet also appeals to the individual styles of mums and dads.

Developed by krow Communications, the sponsorship idents once again feature three sets of light-hearted, humorous films based on recognisable parenting truths and feature a reappearance of ‘Brian the Bear’, voiced by Arthur Smith.

The sponsorship campaign kicked off on Sky 1 with the first episode of the latest series of Modern Family on Monday November 6, 2014, with repeat viewings across Sky 2, Sky Go and catch up channels until June 30, 2015. The campaign will be further supported by digital activity on Sky’s website, Sky.com.

Lucia Pennesi, brand communications manager, FIAT UK said: “Modern Family is an award-winning show with a humorous take on family life, echoing our FIAT 500L communications which are all about celebrating parenting moments with an authentic, humorous and empathetic tone of voice, making it the perfect fit for our target audience.”

Laura Wade, head of Maxus Partnerships said: “The FIAT 500L stands out in the category as the fun, stylish car. Parents shouldn’t have to compromise on their vehicle when they start a family and this range meets their needs for both individuality and practicality. The brand is already seeing results from TV sponsorship choices over the last 12 months and this campaign seeks to maintain and increase that authentic dialogue with parents.”
