AUBURN HILLS, MI -- November 23, 2015: For the second consecutive year, FCA US LLC will take automotive ownership of the American Music Awards (AMA) telecast, teaming up with not one, but the world's three largest music companies - Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music - to present viewers with a one-night-only musical and television experience in an unprecedented collaboration.

"For the second year, FCA is taking automotive ownership of the American Music Awards, this time aligning with not one, but the world's three most powerful music companies and the biggest names in the recording industry, to create custom music content that leverages itself against the strength and diversity of our brand portfolio," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer, FCA - Global. "The use of music in this campaign gives us the opportunity to connect with Millennials through a shared passion. Our strategy to approach each brand like a 'playlist' enables us to reach across genres, allowing us to check two of the most important marketing 'boxes' - brand building, giving each voice a distinctive persona, and relevance to a targeted audience."

The company's 90-second commercial with Atlantic Records' singer, songwriter and producer Charlie Puth puts a unique multi-genre twist on his new hit "One Call Away." The video also features platinum-selling country star and 2014 CMA New Artist of the Year winner Brett Eldredge, singer/producer Ty Dolla $ign and Latin pop singer and songwriter Sofia Reyes, "singing" along to Puth's "One Call Away (Coast to Coast Mix)," as each travels through locations across the United States. Locations include Nashville, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, the Valley of Fire in Nevada, the California Salt Flats and Miami. Each scene highlights a different iconic American landscape that leverages the DNA of each artist and the featured vehicles from the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram and FIAT brands. Vehicles spotlighted in the commercials include the Chrysler 200, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade and Ram Rebel.

As part of the collaboration with Atlantic Records, the version of the "One Call Away" video produced for the American Music Awards campaign will debut in a longer-form three-minute video that will live on Charlie Puth's YouTube page.

"When brand partnerships are done well, they create moments that resonate with customers, excite fans and bring artists to new audiences," said Mike Caren, President of Worldwide A&R for Warner Music Group. "Olivier Francois and his team at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles understand the power that music has to move culture and connect people to products. Together, we've produced something innovative and unique that takes both FCA's brands and Charlie Puth's amazing song in a whole new direction."

"The team at FCA truly respects artists and their craft and they have a deep understanding of how music can be used to motivate and inspire consumers," said Camille Hackney, Atlantic Records EVP, Brand Partnerships & Commercial Licensing/Head of Global Brand Partnership Council. "This was a true collaboration between FCA, Atlantic and the artists featured in the video."

A 60-second spot features four rising stars from Interscope Records (Universal Music Group): BØRNS ("Electric Love") for the Chrysler brand; Tory Lanez ("Say It") for the Dodge brand; Skylar Grey ("Cannon Ball") for the Ram brand; and Pia Mia ("Touch") for the Jeep brand.

"Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to be an incredible partner for us," said Steve Berman, Vice Chairman, Interscope Geffen A&M. "Their commitment to showcasing new and important music, from a diverse array of artists, is something we really value."

A 30-second spot from the FIAT brand features Sony Music group Pentatonix and their hit song "Sing," which was released in October and already has more than 4.4 million YouTube views. Since bursting onto the scene in 2011, the Grammy Award-winners and platinum-selling recording artists Pentatonix has sold more than 2 million albums in the U.S. alone and amassed more than 905 million views on their YouTube channel with more than 7.8 million subscribers. Their self-titled album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart in October.

"We are excited to join with Olivier and FCA again, this time in showcasing Pentatonix in their first major TV spot," said Brian Monaco, Global Head of Advertising, Film & TV for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. "Our relationship with Olivier and the FCA team has afforded us the opportunity to watch Olivier's genius up close and he has done it once again. As usual, Olivier hit it out of the park in juxtaposing the playful spirit of the band, the infectious chorus of 'Sing' and Fiat's fun-to-drive cars."

The ongoing collaboration between FCA US and New York and Hollywood's top music labels has pushed the automaker's presence in official YouTube music videos featuring product integration to over a record 3 billion views and climbing.
