SM Supermalls joined hands with Chevrolet to present to us Chevroletโ€™s well-loved and iconic cars. Together, the two industry trailblazers indulged shoppers with a delightful and interactive experience that captured Chevroletโ€™s rich automotive heritage โ€“ transforming the Atrium of the SM Mall of Asia into โ€œChevy Central.โ€

โ€œWe wanted to create events and activations with these partners that will create a differentiated experience for our customers. Every month until December, our customers can expect something fun and unique. This month we are very fortunate to do this with Chevrolet,โ€ said SM Supermallsโ€™ Senior Vice President for Marketing Joaquin San Agustin.

Alongside these cars are their two iconic cars, Chevrolet Corvette modeled by their own Madonna and the famous Chevrolet Camaro, also known as the โ€œTransformersโ€ movie Bumblebee. They even have their own Bumblebee for photo opportunities with kids. Fathers and kids were also entertained by guest performers and fun games and raffle.

โ€œItโ€™s always a great venue to have our products be displayed. So we think that a lot of the SM Malls are strategically located, theyโ€™re also in close proximityย withย a lot of our dealers โ€“we have 24 dealers nationwide. Soย naturallyย SM has more branches. Andย nagkakataonย kungย saanย may SM,ย mayroonย dinย kamingย dealersย doon.ย So instead to wait for our clients to go to our showrooms, we make ourselves present in a nearby SM,โ€ Buena said.
