The latest is a new partnership with Netflix that will place GM EVs in a series of Netflix-produced shows and films, as well result in new GM EV Super Bowl ads.
We want to make EVs famous on streaming, small and silver screens to build an EV culture through storytelling that incorporates the experiences of driving and owning an EV,” said GM Global Chief Marketing Officer, Deborah Wahl. “Netflix is a great partner because of the company’s compelling storytelling, commitment to sustainability and track record of sparking conversations that shape cultural trends.”
