The introduction of a new car in Canada by General Motors – the Chevrolet Cruze, created a series of innovative launch events where the Cruze was first shown off to Canadians.
I was thrilled, not one week after the Toronto Film Festival and my social media gig with Cadillac Festival Insider concluded, I was asked to join the @ChevyOnScene project.
Toronto’s Nuit Blanche all-night street arts festival provided a unique opportunity to showcase the all-new Chevrolet Cruze in some very cool ways. General Motors spared no expense in creating CRUZE Remix – …
