Chevrolet announced the launch of its promotional campaign and sponsorship of Third Day's Live Wire Tour with tobyMac.
Coming off the past success of the last two years with Third Day, Chevrolet's southeast region has developed an inclusive marketing promotion that focuses on launching the all-new 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt and continuing the successful An American Revolution campaign. The campaign includes radio promotions, an online campaign and website, and onsite activities at seven concert dates in the southeastern US.
Supported by Top 40 and Christian radio stations in the select markets, the radio promotional spots features Mac Powell, lead singer of Third Day, and music from Third Day, including "I Got A Feeling" and "Wire." The online campaign includes a website, www.thirddaycobalt.com with links from ThirdDay.com, where Third Day fans can register to win a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, the new supercharged coupe, accessorized by Third Day's members. The website will feature samples of six songs from Wire, Third Day's acclaimed album; news about the tour; and Chevrolet's activities before, during and after the concerts.
