CITROËN SA LAUNCHES MASSIVE FACEBOOK SEARCH FOR CELEBRITY AMBASSADOR





    We’ve all seen and heard about them  -  celebrities that represent various brands, and we’ve questioned how the affiliation between certain ambassadors and the brand they represent came about.

    Citroën has come up with an innovative and exciting facebook application where the member can vote for a celebrity which he thinks should represent the innovative brand.
     

    This is how it works: The profiles of 8 potential ambassadors have been placed on Citroën’s facebook page.  These are young, experienced achievers in the entertainment industry, including TV, music, radio and sport. Voters will be asked to match each celebrity with a Citroën vehicle based on their profiles.

    This highly interactive process, a local industry first, will see the Celebrity with the most facebook votes become the next ambassador and of course drive the vehicle of their choice.  Voters will also go into a draw in which the ultimate prize is a day spent with the winner! and there are plenty more amazing spot prizes to snatch.

    On the other hand, in the true spirit of an election, the celebrities themselves are encouraged to drum up potential voters to support them in obtaining this much sort after prize.

    The chosen celebrity will sip on massive exposure. He or she will be photographed arriving at selected functions, attending high profile events and generally enjoying a chic lifestyle in their stylish new Citroën.

    Citroën has one of the freshest and most exciting model line-ups on the market today, some of which have already won major international awards. Just this April the sporty performance-geared Citroën DS3 took home another coveted and internationally-acclaimed award by winning the 2011 Women’s World Car of the Year
