Stellantis Becomes Sole Automaker to Advertise During Super Bowl 59

The company highlights a 'comeback' narrative with Jeep and Ram commercials as rivals scale back on big-game spending.

  • Stellantis aired two commercials during Super Bowl 59, becoming the only automaker to advertise during the event this year.
  • The decision followed the abrupt departure of CEO Carlos Tavares in December, with Chairman John Elkann pushing for a campaign to signal a U.S. market resurgence.
  • The Jeep ad, featuring actor Harrison Ford, celebrated individual freedom and included subtle nods to competition with Ford's Bronco SUV.
  • Other automakers reportedly avoided Super Bowl advertising due to uncertainty in the industry and past campaigns promoting electric vehicles that were not yet available.
  • Stellantis' marketing strategy combined traditional and electric vehicles, emphasizing a renewed commitment to storytelling and brand identity.
