A piece of communication that spread spontaneously all over the world and managed, for the first time, to communicate Fiat’s main core value to everyone: Italian-ness.” The YouTube video featuring Fiat CEO Olivier Francois shows a 600E being dipped into a giant vat of paint by a crane and emerging a delightful orange in the middle of an Italian piazza.
