Chevrolet, which wants a broader, more consistent social media strategy, has hired former Ford social media manager Craig Daitch.
Daitch, 39, joins General Motors from SapientNitro, where he was vice president of digital marketing strategy. He managed the company’s Detroit office, overseeing the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles account. Before joining SapientNitro late last year, Daitch held several management jobs at Ford, including managing the automaker’s North American social media activities and car communications.
Daitch, who begins today as Chevy’s senior manager for social media, will be responsible for creating content that bolsters the brand’s new-vehicle launches, racing activities and communications initiatives.
Ford has been an early social media adopter, using the platform to help build awareness of new vehicles such as the Fiesta and C-Max. “In an always-on world, everything communicates,” Daitch told Automotive News. “Social media has changed the way the automotive industry approaches access to their brand, their business and the consumers they seek to build relationships with.”

GM will do well to steal as many Ford marketing folks as they can. That's the one area Ford really is supreme in - marketing!
When Total Recall Motors hires someone else's marketing person, it won't matter - great ideas are killed at the company that kills its owners and doesn't seem to care.
They need to steal some Ford and or RAM truck marketing guys. Chevy truck ads are a joke.GM will do well to steal as many Ford marketing folks as they can. That's the one area Ford really is supreme in - marketing!
