Fiat’s Abarth 500 “Too Fast to Follow” on Twitter

Fiat Abarth 500 - Too Fast to Follow on Twitter

While certainly not the most important metric of social media success, increasing the number of followers is an important pursuit for a lot of Twitter users and brands. Some Twitter users have even gone to the social media black market to buy large blocks of fake users to increase their follower number.

It’s quite the opposite strategy with Fiat Germany, who aren’t interested in follower numbers at all for the Fiat Abarth 500 Twitter profile. To reinforce the messaging that the car is “Too Fast to Follow”, (top speed is 205 km/h) and contravening everything about the way social media should work, you cannot even follow the account. Yes, you can press the ‘follow’ button, but in moments you will be blocked keeping their follower account steady at “0”.
