Chrysler Continues Celebrity Fetish With Dr. Dre
Chrysler continues to get its hip on, this time with the addition of music mogul Dr. Dre who will appear in a new campaign - debuting May 4 - for Chrysler's 300 sedan. Joining Dre in the campaign will be Detroit Lions football player Ndamukong Suh and fashion designer John Varvatos.
Of the new campaign, Chrysler CEO Olivier Francious said, "This will be a breakthrough in terms of how you speak about luxury in this country. It doesn't speak about luxury in terms of just aesthetic, but about luxury in terms of the spirit. This is a departure from traditional advertising. I want to be at least as visible as my competitors even without having the same resources."
Dr. Dre follows Eminem's "epic" commercial and ode to Detroit which appeared during the Super Bowl the star did for the brand's 200.
