In 2006, Cadillac hired a new global marketing director, Liz Vanzura. She promptly fired its long-time ad agency, Leo Burnett, and handed the $200 million business to Modernista – the agency that handles Hummer and has a history of producing killer car spots. The new team quickly updated the marketing strategy and produced killer ads.
They also launched a Microsite at www.mycadillacstory.com, and created a home on YouTube, encouraging enthusiasts to tell their own Cadillac stories.
