“Our partnership with FOX and its hit show ‘24’ provides a tremendous 360-degree platform to showcase our new flagship, the Genesis sedan,” said Chris Perry, director of marketing communications, Hyundai Motor America. “The unique in-show integration ensures exposure when the audience is most involved with the TV series, watching Jack Bauer in his perilous episodes, but the extensions allow us to build a relationship with consumers in the real world.”

The innovative marketing partnership with Hyundai and its media partners, World Marketing Group and Initiative, boasts multiple touchstones, including:
· In-Show Integrations: The specialty attributes of the Hyundai Genesis play pivotal roles both in “24: REDEMPTION” and throughout Season Seven. In “24: REDEMPTION,” the car’s Bluetooth capabilities were highlighted, and additional in-show integrations will be seamlessly integrated into the storyline throughout Season Seven.
· Digital Extensions: Hyundai Genesis branding is featured on FOX.com, FOX On Demand, MySpace and hulu. The “24” microsite on FOX.com also includes exclusive, behind-the-scenes content that is updated weekly from January through May. For every episode of “24,” a “Scenemaker,” specially produced and created by the Genesis, will take fans deeper into the series by highlighting something or someone special about that particular heart-racing hour.
· Sports Tie-Ins: For “24: REDEMPTION,” Hyundai received on-air enhancements during Major League Playoffs and World Series games.
· In-Dealership Presence: A “24: REDEMPTION” integration reel is currently being shown in Hyundai dealerships throughout the U.S.
· Product Placement: Hyundai Genesis vehicles will have an on-air presence throughout Season Seven of “24” and were also featured in “24: REDEMPTION.”
· Other Marketing: The “24: REDEMPTION” telecast was supported by national print (TIME, Sports Illustrated) and local radio buys.
