Chrysler has put its media assignment into review, according to sources.
Like many automakers, Chrysler has cut its ad spending sharply in the last couple of years. It spent $840 million in domestic measured media last year, way down from $1.8 billion in 2007, per Nielsen. The carmaker’s spending totaled $270 million this year through August.
