The Challenge
With a presence of more than 30 years in the automotive market, Ford Fiesta had come to represent all that was dull and uninteresting in the world. Our challenge was to connect with a group of fashion-focused, upwardly-mobile 20-somethings and reposition the new Ford Fiesta as a desirable must-have.

The Solution
Wunderman set about reinventing Fiesta as a style icon by making it 'the Zeitgeist' (spirit of now). We invited our audience to upload images to Ford's own Flickr group, we drew live content from partners like Vogue, GQ and Last FM and we established a 'This is Now' blog (http://www.thisisnow.eu).

The Result
The Fiesta portal has enjoyed over 1,039,938 visitors to date from 22 countries. 98,850 of those visitors became registered sales leads (9.5% of the total number of portal visitors) and 21,082 requested a test drive. Sales of the new Fiesta are 31% above Ford's target - an excellent outcome as Ford competitors' sales are in steep decline.
