Prosche 911 Carrera S beats Mini Cooper S (only by minutes)

While we were up to our ears in Cannes coverage last week, it slipped our attention that Mini went ahead and raced Porsche at Road Atlanta, without the latter's involvement, having unsuccessfully bugged the luxury brand for weeks to take part. In the end, the Porsche 911 Carrera S beat the Mini Cooper S, though only by a few seconds. Porsche's absence makes the whole thing a bit specious, but they had to wrap up the campaign somehow. See the race footage below. The only remaining question is whether Mini will now race Hyundai, which obnoxiouslyelbowed in with its own challenge in the middle of Mini's campaign.

Breaking Down the Consumer Barrier

The explosive growth of social media and massive adoption of e-mail has changed the face of interactive marketing for good. Consumers want engagement, not marketing, and expect you to provide relevant, meaningful content across all channels. Today's consumers are complex, but connecting with them is simple. Ask them what they want, how they want it and when they want it, and then deliver it to them. Stay engaged and experience the results of the "power of ask."

-Tim Kopp

Here are tips to get started:

1.) Let customers identify how and where they want to hear from you. This also refers to giving customers an incentive, such as discounts or special promotions. 

2.) Provide customers with an easy way to join your communications on their own time. 

3.) Get personal with your customers, because customer interaction can be very useful for feedback and ideas.

Using Facebook and Linkedin to network your next job.

"Facebook, for example, has exploded with more than 400 million active users, each of whom averages 130 friends. That’s a whole lot of people who could help with your job hunt. LinkedIn, with more than 70 million members, offers a more professional networking platform for you to post your résumé and connect with former and current co-workers."

Thinking Outside the Box

In spirit of the 2010 FIFA tournament, the Dutch Federation created the perfect FIFA fan t-shirt. 

A pinup calendar to die for.

Skin-and-bones models are normally gross, but there's something gorgeous - and gleeful, and weird, and amazing - about this pinup calendar from Eizo.

The X-Ray company (like, they actually make medical machines) decided to promote their latest see-through technology with a pinup calendar... entirely done in X-Ray vision.

The result is a spooky and hysterical set of images that leave nothing (and everything) to the imagination.  And though we'd never encourage a real model to look like a corpse, in this one case, it's drop dead cool.
