General Motors said it will doubling down on GMC's media spending for 2015 amid a long-term plan to grow the brand in the next 10 years.

The first step in the push is a campaign that focuses on precision and includes TV spots and online ads on sites such as YouTube and AOL. Leo Burnett is the brand's lead creative agency and DigitasLBi creates its digital ads.

A GMC representative described precision as a "core element" of the brand, adding, "We're focusing on the precision of our engineering and design, which is an element of [our tagline] 'professional grade' today." 

The company's media spending totaled about $245 million in 2013 and more than $175 million in the first nine months of 2014, according to Kantar Media.
