Jaguar and Gilt City are partnering to celebrate #MyTurnToJag. The luxury automotive brand and the innovative online shopping tool that brings upscale events and designer products to consumers are hosting exclusive events in New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles following the winners’ F-TYPE drive experience in support of Jaguar’s social media contest. The events will host Gilt members, VIPs, Jaguar brand partners and enthusiasts. Guests will have their turn in the passenger seat as a Jaguar professional driver navigates the F-TYPE through each city during the course of the event.
As part of a global advertising and marketing campaign for the launch of the F-TYPE, “Your Turn”, Jaguar North America launched #MyTurnToJag in May as a social media contest, where Jaguar enthusiasts and social media fans can submit a story explaining why it is their turn to drive the all-new two-seater sports car. Four winners will be selected based on their submission and Jaguar will curate a unique driving experience alongside Jaguar brand partners: Kelly Rowland, comedian Mark Malkoff and professional race car driver Davy Jones, among others. The drives will be filmed, shown during the Jaguar and Gilt City events, and shared across Jaguar USA’s social channels.
