2021: Chevrolet "Silverado ZR2 Relay" Reveal Campaign

9/9/2021

 
Picture
How do you introduce the most game-changing off-road pickup Chevy has ever built? You hack a football game watched by 26 million people. During the NFL season opener on NBC, we partnered with the network’s own sideline reporter, Michele Tafoya, to “host” a segment featuring the All-New Silverado ZR2 on a series of adventures with well-known Chevy truck owners.

Using authentic NBC-style graphics and sportscast-style editing, our ZR2 commercial was nearly indistinguishable from the broadcast itself. From boating with NASCAR champion Chase Elliott to performing on stage with platinum-selling artist BRELAND, from ranching with Chris Pratt to off-roading with champion driver Chad Hall, we showcased how the Silverado ZR2’s capability fits a wide range of lifestyles and passions. The result made one thing clear: whether you’re on the road or off, the first-ever Silverado ZR2 is the playmaker everyone wants on their team.

​In addition to its primetime debut, the fully integrated campaign extended across Chevy channels, talent platforms, earned media, and internal communications—making the Silverado ZR2 Relay a true cross-channel launch moment.
