Nine-time Grammy Award-winning musician John Legend’s new single, “Made to Love,” is featured in a new Chevrolet Impala
marketing campaign which debuts during Game 7 of the NBA Finals on ABC
tonight. “Made to Love” is Legend’s newest single from his highly
anticipated album, “Love in the Future,” available September 3.
The campaign kicks off with a spot showing Legend drawing inspiration for his music as he drives through the streets of New York City in a 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
“John Legend and one of Chevrolet’s most legendary cars, the Impala,
are a powerful combination,” said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet
Marketing. “Legend’s impeccable style and deep musical accomplishments
make him a natural behind the wheel of a car that has demonstrated
innovative and smooth style for 50 years.”
Legend claims an authentic connection to Chevrolet and America’s
heartland. His first car was a Chevrolet and as a child of the Midwest,
Legend has been a vocal supporter and advocate of the resurgence of
Detroit and the U.S. auto industry.
“I see a lot of parallels between the renaissance of a classic brand
like the Impala and what I try to do as an artist,” Legend said. “I
strive to make my music innovative while grounded in a classic style.
The Impala is a true classic, yet its understated elegance appeals to me
today.”
Spike DDB, Spike Lee’s advertising agency, developed the concept in
partnership with award-winning film, music video, and commercial
director Anthony Mandler of Believe Media. Together the teams helped
Chevrolet and Spike DDB create the ad and accompanying online videos
that draw parallels between Legend’s persona and the sophistication of
the all-new Chevrolet Impala.
The campaign, which will live alongside the current Impala work, will
include radio, print, digital, social media and cinema. It will appear
across general market and African American-focused media properties.
