Chrysler is an automobile manufacturer established in 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler, who also built The Chrysler Building which was used as the company's headquarters from 1930 until the 1950s.
In 1971, Chrysler sponsored the Sesame Street float in The Tournament of Roses Parade.
Chrysler and Sesame Workshop announced a partnership in July 2017, wherein Chrysler would sponsor Sesame Street on PBS and develop original content with Sesame Workshop for their digital platforms, promoting their Chrysler Pacifica mini-van.
Two of the advertisements, "Smart Cookie" and "Trash Talk," were directed by Matt Vogel.[1][2]
