Props to K&N for getting creative on their new R/C car promotion. I love creative grassroot marketing pieces, low cost, high impact. Well…relatively low cost, if you don’t count the R/C cars that were destroyed in the process.

Pretty nifty little marketing push that Nike recently executed a park. They removed the seat portion of some benches and had the top piece branded with their logo and the word run to encourage more running and less sitting. I love when large corporations do grassroot projects like this. Makes me feel like they still care about their image at every level.

Ken Block party that is. I’m not totally convinced of his driving skills, but the man has talent and ingenuity. The DC guys and Ken Block continue to raise the bar with a side of crazy every time they release a new video.

These Smithsonian ads were never run by the Museum itself, but instead was a school project for two Atalanta college students. It would be pretty cool if an organization like the Smithsonian took this approach to their marketing. I think it’s humorous ads like these that make history more interesting to the masses. When you think history and museums, you think stuffy and stale. These ads instantly change that image. The power of marketing…

Whether it’s worded fake, replica, imitation, “like”, or copy. Support the legit brands! Companies spend millions of dollars to conduct R&D and depend on successful sales of items in order to recover their investment. Not only do you get better quality with real products, but you’re also helping insure companies like Volk will stay around longer to hopefully design and innovate even more products in the future. Yes, I know, the real stuff isn’t cheap. I too was once a starving college student…the only Rays Engineering product I had. and could afford, was a Volk poster on my wall. But I still ate a steady diet of Top Ramen to make sure one day I’d be able to afford the real thing. Don’t front, you’re only cheating yourself.
TE37 fan boi for ever ever.

I absolutely love this new Jim Beam commercial. As part of their “bold choice” campaign, the ad talks about life, and how the choices we make, mold and determine the people we become. Life is full of choices, day in and day out, we must make solid decisions no matter how difficult they may seem.
“All choices lead you somewhere, bold choices take you where you’re supposed to be…”
Let’s hope we’re all making the correct bold choices. Become legendary.

BMW is a marketing machine! I love the way they conservatively push the envelope if that makes sense. Edgy without compromise, all wrapped into contemporary style.
I especially like the line on the wing, “LACK OF CHARISMA CAN BE FATAL”.

Dai is an amazing driver, a humble person, and a good friend. He came close to finishing within the top 3 of Formula D last year, I hope he has even more success this year! Check out this recently released video showing his humorous side. I love it. Dai, if you’re reading this, imagine my finger in my elbow. =)
