FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fiat® Taps SapientNitro for Sin City-Inspired Web Videos Featuring
Supermodel Catrinel Menghia
BOSTON – May 10, 2012 – SapientNitro, part of Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE),
announced today that they have been enlisted by luxury brand Fiat® to
transform its long-standing point-of-purchase model, and create a bridge
from the customer awareness stage to the sales generation stage. In doing
so, SapientNitro and Fiat are seducing customers by displaying the sexy
side of the new Fiat 500 Abarth in a series of three distinctively shot web
videos, which are now hosted on the Fiat website, www.fiatusa.com/abarth.

While it has received recognition for its first-class racing pedigree in the
European market, the Fiat 500 Abarth had yet to achieve the same
momentum in the U.S. SapientNitro was tasked with conceptualizing three
video spots to re-invigorate the brand and lead prospective customers to a
new, content-rich website – and thus driving demand directly to Fiat
dealerships nationally.
SapientNitro enlisted seductive supermodel Catrinel Menghia of the
infamous Fiat Super Bowl spot to help showcase the exceptional vehicle in
its most high-octane action mode. The three spots were filmed in and around
Las Vegas – from the desert to the racetrack to the ever-iconic Las Vegas
strip – an emotionally enticing backdrop for the performance car commonly
referred to as “The Scorpion.” The spots have also led to additional content
developed for the site, including an interchangeable seven-camera view lap
around a prominent Sin City racetrack.
