The Ford Fiesta Movement is here, and it's trying to change the way brands think about engaging fans through social media. Instead of using creators as mouthpieces for canned blocks of corporate text, Ford is letting creators give the pitches most meaningful to them. The result has been some of the most fun brand videos we've seen recently on YouTube. At Social Media Week Los Angeles, Ford's Global Digital & Multimedia Communications Manager, Scott Monty, will discuss his company's online media strategy alongside a handful of the creators Ford has empowered.
