“Ford is launching the Focus Electric on Yahoo!, once again recognizing the power and reach of the Web as we continue to rely more on digital media,” says Matt VanDyke, director, U.S. Marketing Communications for Ford. “The electric vehicle market will grow over time, so we electrified our popular small-car platform with a targeted online campaign instead of creating a one-off vehicle with huge ad budgets.”

This will be an online show, and the official schedule will be announced within a couple of weeks. Casting is currently underway in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Atlanta, Boston or North Carolina.
