    Jeep India celebrates Ganeshotsav with a 162 feet long, 185 feet wide, Ganesha made of 122 Jeep Compass SUVs

    Mumbai, September 5th 2020 – This year’s Ganesh Chaturthi festival – the pride and joy of Maharashtra was scaled down due to the pandemic and to avoid large crowds. The height of the idol for public pandals was not to exceed four feet and physical distancing would be compulsory. Despite all the restrictions, Jeep India and Leo Burnett decided to pay a tribute to Lord Ganesha in a unique way, keeping the spirit of the festival alive.

    Staying true to the brand pillars of Authenticity, Passion, Freedom and Adventure, Jeep was paying homage to the idea of overcoming obstacles. The idea was to create a larger-than-life, ode to the ultimate remover of obstacles using Jeep Compass SUVs. To make this a one-of-a-kind initiative, 29,970 sq. ft. of space, 48+ hours, 8 professional drivers were required. This would result in a 162 feet long, 185 feet wide, Ganesha made of 122 Jeep Compass SUVs!

    Commenting on the campaign Rahul Pansare – Head of Marketing and PR, FCA India said, “Lord Ganesha symbolises the beginning of auspicious times, transcends class, age and social status. Ganesh Chaturthi is amongst the most loved and fervently celebrated festivals in India that brings people together, spreads positivity and imparts strength. We, at Jeep India, couldn’t bring ourselves to let this festival go without a celebration. We decided to do something adventurous but it had to be authentic; something that would touch peoples’ hearts, induce positive vibes and bring cheer. Making a 162-feet tall, 185-feet wide Lord Ganesh from 122 Jeep Compass SUVs was Jeep’s way to say that we can decimate every challenge if we channel our passion in the right direction. I was delighted to see our effort going viral on social media in no time!”

    Adding further Rajdeepak Das, Managing Director India & Chief Creative Officer, Leo Burnett South Asia said “Lord Ganesha is known as a conquerer of all obstacles and this year even with all the restrictions we wanted to create an act befitting to this deity’s eminence. Brand Jeep is known to take any challenges head-on and our campaign does the same. Our endeavour resulted in a one of its kind Ganesha Idol using 122 Jeep SUV’s with the same scale of an idol in a pandal. This campaign is a perfect example of our Humankind philosophy which revolves entirely around people and purpose.”

    MUMBAI: FCA has unveiled a new integrated campaign ‘This Is It’ for its flagship model, the Jeep Compass. The campaign has been conceptualised and created by Leo Burnett India. 

    The new film positions the Jeep Compass as the ultimate SUV by capability, creature comforts, gadgets and importantly, safety. The Jeep Compass ticks all the right boxes with its dual-pane panoramic sunroof, automatic bi-xenon headlamps, the 21.3cm (8.4) Uconnect System, 8-way power seats for the driver and six airbags for front as well as rear passengers.

    Speaking about the new campaign, FCA India head marketing and PR Rahul Pansare said, “The Jeep Compass doesn’t stand for anything mundane, mediocre or ordinary. It gives you the freedom from everything that shackles you to life’s mundaneness. The film shows a couple in their Compass, leaving behind everything that keeps them tied to the drudgery – jobs, cubicles, bosses, meetings, weekend trips to the supermarket and even the Saturday night trip to a mall or movie theatre, to name a few.”

    Leo Burnett MD – India and chief creative officer – South Asia Rajdeepak Das added, “The Jeep Compass is one of the most successful brands in the country. What is especially interesting is how it owns 'outdoors' as a space, in a way no other brand does. Our team has done an excellent job of communicating everything the Jeep stands for, into a great film. 'Go anywhere. Do anything' is a great start for the campaign.”
