New Advertising Campaign for All-New 2008 Jeep Liberty Puts the Focus ...
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 26 -- With a distinct family resemblance, but a personality all its own, the all-new 2008 Jeep Liberty takes center stage in a new advertising campaign that builds on the brand's "Have Fun Out There" tagline and highlights one of the industry's exclusive features, the Sky Slider(TM) roof. The new campaign launches nationally the week of Sept. 23 during the network premieres of "Law & Order SVU," "The Office," "New Amsterdam" and "Desperate Housewives." Throughout the integrated marketing campaign, the message is simple. The new Jeep Liberty is truly an authentic Jeep, from its classic seven-slot grille and the redesigned exterior, to its legendary off-road capability and new features designed to give owners that extra dose of fun that comes from wanting to bring more of the world into their driving experience.
Letters: Clarification on charreadas
I am appalled that you interviewed Mr. Ruben Alvarez regarding charreadas. Mr. Alvarez has NO clue what charreadas are. Alvarez is simply a PROMOTER at Rancho Grande in Morgan Hill, whose interest is simply financial in nature. For those of you who have never participated at one of Alvarez's "family events," they consist of live Mexican bands, bull riding, and large groups of inebriated individuals which result in fights amongst the patrons. Additionally, the style of bull riding held at Rancho Grande has nothing to do with the charreria. Furthermore, Alvarez has NEVER supported the charreria and for clarification, the type of event held at Rancho Grande is a "jaripeo." Perhaps, during a subsequent interview (regarding his events, not charreria) with Alvarez can enlighten you as to the definition of a "jaripeo." I have been personally involved in the charreria for over 20 years within the state of California.
More Frontline responses
I think it was done responsibly and for the best reasons, and I think it was ethically handled. Your mileage may vary. But reasonable people can disagree on this point; it's highly disengenuous, Jim McCarthy, for you and others on these boards to imply or state that there's some hard and fast edict against these journalistic practices. Carefully considered, carefully done as a last resort or a final confirmational step, many journalists believe they have a place. You don't like it. Noted. But the end result here was exposing scummy behavior. Others have commented on these boards that the S-R killed West. Cancer killed West. Some have said the paper destroyed his life; actually, it revealed the sordid truth of his life beneath the thin veneer. Jim, you make one point I agree with wholeheartedly and I think most folks in the business would, too: "Frontline, in other words, did to the Spokesman-Review exactly what news outlets do to subjects every single day." It's instructive for any journalist or group of journalists to be subject to the hard reporting and analysis of their peers.
QA: Building a Brand Around a Personality
Uncle Wally's may not be as famous as Famous Amos, but the same person is behind both brands: Wally Amos. Once a show-business promoter, Mr. Amos started selling chocolate-chip cookies in 1975 in his store in Hollywood, Calif. The business took off, as Mr. Amos rode a gourmet cookie craze and advocated for adult literacy. Mr. Amos eventually lost the business and became its paid spokesman. It changed hands several times, and now is owned by Kellogg Co.'s Keebler brand. .
Viewing all entries for: January 2008
THEY like it spicy down here in South Carolina. Locals pour hot sauce on their catfish, on their grits, even on their greens. Their politics is spicy too. Charleston, a city with some of the richest and poorest people in the state within spitting distance, has a political scene "as gothic as New York City," a local journalist says. Some folks who live in the historic mansions in Old Charleston actually commute to New York regularly. Meanwhile North Charleston has pockets of desperate poverty, and there are people living in run-down trailers not far outside town. The polls are open today in a state that has once again reminded America of its reputation for hard-ball politics. After all the antics of the past week, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards are in the hands of Democratic primary voters.
