The <strike>Green</strike> Blue Oval has won Nielsen's first Automotive Green Marketer of the Year award. The honor is given to brands that help shape consumer awareness of environmental themes, and Ford beat out <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet">Chevrolet</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/honda">Honda</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mercedes-benz">Mercedes-Benz</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota">Toyota</a> for this year's pick in the automotive category. According to Nielsen, the campaigns for both the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta">Fiesta</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fusion">Fusion Hybrid</a> helped tip the scales in the Ford direction. Additionally, Nielsen says that FoMoCo's decision to sponsor this year's hybrid-oriented American Idol helped out quite a bit as well.<br />

This isn't just some popularity contest, though. Nielsen dug through three research studies to determine each manufacturer's effectiveness in green advertising. All told, over 7,000 participants were involved in the research. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/19/ford-wins-first-ever-nielsen-automotive-green-marketer-of-the-y/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for the press release.<br />
