Well…
“With the luxury car market facing declining sales, it has become more important than ever to attract new buyers rather than just up-selling existing drivers. Unfortunately, BMW’s competitors in this price bracket like Porsche tend to have fiercely loyal customers. Previous attempts to contact these conquest prospects had achieved dismal response rates. Subvert the traditional car launch process and ask prospects to review the car ahead of journalists. They sent Porsche drivers a mysterious package containing an mp3 player. There was no branding on the pack – the only clue was the German postmark.
The mp3 message (in authentic German accent) spoke to people individually by name and invited them on a top-secret sneak preview test drive. Respondents were chauffeured one by one to a private airport, where they unveiled the new BMW X6 and recorded their comments on camera. They filmed each person with a dashboard camera as they put the X6 through its paces on the runway, and then edited the footage so that each driver had their own personal review on DVD. The most satisfying result was capturing Porsche drivers on camera raving about BMW.
But the results also stacked up from a numbers point of view. A staggering 72% of these completely cold prospects said YES to a test drive. This was the most overwhelming response BMW has ever had in New Zealand. So overwhelming, in fact, that they had to stop mailing when they were only halfway through the list.
Maaaan it’s going down in D.C. this weekend. I can imagine it being like a grown up version of Freaknik but a lot colder. To celebrate Barack Obama, Martin Luther King’s Birthday, and Stevie Wonder, Dj Spinna and Bobbito are taking “Wonderfull” to Washington D.C.!
I’M SOOOO MAD I’M GOING TO MISS THIS ONE
What if Stevie and Obama both fall threw? This has potential to be the best party of the year.

”Prior to the current economic crisis and Toyota’s shift in product strategy, the SCION was one of auto industry’s most extraordinary marketing success stories. And we haven’t heard anyone summarize that tale better than Jeffrey Rayport did at the recent CTAM conference. The marketing consultant told the Cable TV industry to rethink its relationship with consumers and empower them more. As an example, he cited the way Scion’s 2003 launch managers rethought every aspect of customer engagement.”

Hip Hop Heads, and Brooklynites have been talking about this movie since last summer. Well it’s release date is now 10 days away. The big question is will the movie live up to the Hype that’s being created for it? Not sure, I do know one thing though… I will be in the theatre with 40 Below Timberlands and a Northface on Jan 16th. Hell, I might even rock my still crisp Nappy T-Shirt from the mid 90′s.
I’m hoping I get a chance to check out the movie before it’s official release (Hell, Questlove saw it already, and I’ll be damned, if my Fro isn’t as important as his )
“Check out the many NYC and Brooklyn shooting locations and behind the scenes footage & interviews with Ms. Wallace, Lil Cease, Director George Tillman and more.”
In order to re-create the madness that went down at a Biggie concert, the cast and crew of “Notorious” made sure they got every little detail right, including the clothes, the hair and, most importantly, the vibe.
For the film’s performance footage, Tillman rounded up the usual suspects that one might have seen at a Biggie concert during the ’90s, including producers, DJs, managers and a cast of actors that looked uncannily like the people they are portraying.
The whole scene was approved by Biggie’s real-life right-hand man, Diddy, who showed up to give the movie mob his stamp of approval. “All of these actors up here did a great job,” he said, surprising the crowd from the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
“I felt like it was important to get it right, because a lot of people have not seen Big perform,” Tillman said. “Everyone came and brought it. Every moment was there on camera: the fun stuff, the great stuff.”
The Wu-Tang put a visual to their new Fila Boots. If you didn’t know about the kicks, check the post. Peep the vid as the Gods show you how to rock the uniform!
