Chrysler Group Wants a Photo of Your Jeep Having Fun

From the Chrysler Group media-only blog:

Jeep® lovers – tired of seeing YouTube videos of your Jeep outdoor adventures getting overlooked by the Academy?

Well, Jeep marketing is offering a little limelight. They’re looking for pictures from anyone in a Jeep vehicle who knows how to have fun (uh, family fun folks). They’re going to use the images to create a Jeep mosaic ad for the Web and print.

Okay, so it’s no Oscar statue, but Jeeps and red carpets don’t go well together anyway.

If you've seen the other "Greatest moments" video floating around youtube, you'll understand that they're trying to promote the Jeep brand as a platform for the good times in your life. Sounds a lot more like the Jeep ads from the 60s and 70s back when Jeep was about getting out and having fun... not mileage, shopping bag hooks and other soccer-mom features.

Actually, if you search youtube for "jeep greatest moments" you get NOTHING related to jeep. Go ahead and search for "greatest moments" and all you get are sports highlights. The user-generated-media "fun" idea is an old theme that isn't being translated into today's market. Talk about the #1 issue that consumers are worried about (mileage) by using the bluetec GC. How a) diesel is better for your wallet b) better for the environment/cleaner burning fuel, c) you can have MORE fun because you can literally go farther than traditional gas engines can take you and finally d) while highlighting the capability aspects of the vehicle. Jeep does not have to worry about cornering the "outdoor fun" market. They've got it hands down: They're not scary and wasteful like Hummer. They're also not bland and boring like import suvs. Jeep already has a vehicle that if positioned correctly, could set off a few lightbulbs in the minds of consumers. --TKL

I wasn't suggesting anyone searches youtube for "greatest moments," but there WAS a new Jeep ad on there running with this title. Simmer down, bro.
