Audi Expands Targets with Campaign Launch for New Model...
Audi Australia has launched a major national marketing campaign for its new five-door A1 Sportback, via TV, print, online and social media channels.
ZETLAND, AUSTRALIA – July 9, 2012: Prompted by the success of the recently launched three-door model - which has already overtaken Mini as the leader in the compact luxury category - the new campaign sees Audi focus on a slightly younger target market.
Alongside eye-catching and sleek national TV, cinema and print executions, the campaign includes online advertising, with a category-exclusive sponsorship of the hugely popular and fast-growing Spotify music streaming service.
Audi’s inituitive Bluetooth streaming allows drivers to connect their telephone to the car’s radio to play music, making a partnership with Spotify the ideal way to select and play the perfect driving tracks.
“This campaign perfectly mirrors the combination of innovation and sophistication that is the Audi brand while targeting a new audience for us. The A1 is Audi’s most-accessible model, and the new Sportback (5 door) model adds versatility to the already-popular compact A1.
This car is proof that luxury does come in small packages and that Audi’s DNA runs through our entire range,” said Audi’s General Manager of Marketing, Janet Markus.
“Audi doesn’t rest on its laurels and not only does the new model reflect that, so too does our approach.”
Since 2004, Audi has enjoyed year-on-year of growth in Australia due to a combination of exceptional new product, clear investment in it’s national dealer network, integrated marketing campaigns and a focus on building a sustainable growth strategy in Australia.
The campaign will run for 3 months. Creative agency: Rapp Collins.

London Ambulance Service is today (1 May) launching a campaign to get 1,000 extra defibrillators in shops, businesses and gyms across the capital to save more lives.
The campaign is being launched with Marks & Spencer which is fitting defibrillators in its 86 London stores.
Ex-footballer Fabrice Muamba, who was famously shocked back to life with a defibrillator after going into cardiac arrest during a football match, is attending the launch event and lending his support to the campaign.
London Ambulance Service Chairman Richard Hunt CBE, said: “If you have a cardiac arrest, your heart stops beating and you are clinically dead. Every second counts which is why we want more defibrillators in public places to help us save more lives in London.”
Around 28 per cent of people survive a cardiac arrest in a public place, but where there is a defibrillator and someone trained to use it, the chance of survival can increase to 80 per cent.
Fabrice said: “If it wasn’t for a defibrillator I wouldn’t be here today.
“I was lucky I had my cardiac arrest in the right place with the best medics around to help me. I want everyone who goes into cardiac arrest to have the same chance as me and that’s why I’m supporting the London Ambulance Service campaign to get more defibrillators in public places.”
By placing defibrillators in public places and training people to use them as well as carrying out CPR, more lives could be saved.
Keith Davis, Fire, Health and Safety Manager at Marks & Spencer, said: “Our position at the heart of community high streets and large footfall shopping destinations means that our stores are perfect venues to host defibrillators.They save lives and we know that having one in every London store will save a life in an M&S store in the future.
"We’re training over 1,000 first aiders to use them in our stores and with the support of the London Ambulance Service we are making shopping in London safer than ever before.”
M&S will roll out the defibrillators across London and its partner Ashbury Training will train over 1,000 customer assistants over the next three months.
Defibrillators can be used by members of the public and they are safe and shockingly easy to use with training.
Richard said: “Don’t leave it too late to do the right thing. Every shop, gym, hotel and office in London should have a defibrillator so they’re ready to save a life in London.

Chief Inspector Laura Marler outside the Safe Haven venue.
A new initiative to provide support to people in need on a night out has been launched in Manchester city centre.
The Safe Haven has been developed by Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner and other partners.
Based at the Nexus Art Café at Dale Street it is designed to reduce the demand on frontline services by assisting those people who become vulnerable and require the support of others to ensure they are safe and can get home after being out and about in the city following a night out.
It is supported by regular officers, special constables, Manchester Street Angels and the LGBT Foundation Village Angels. The centre will act as a place of safety and a hub for police to provide care, advice and assistance for anyone who attends. Water and hot drinks will be provided and visitors to the café will receive support to help them arrange to get home.
Chief Inspector Laura Marler who is coordinating the Safe Haven scheme said: “Weekend nights in the city centre is a busy time for all partners including police. This initiative is to ensure our most vulnerable members of the community are protected, we can reduce the demand on our frontline services and the number of incidents of violent crime and ensure those visiting the city can enjoy their night safely.”
Councillor Pat Karney, Manchester city centre spokesman, said: “Manchester is famous for its nightlife and tens of thousands of people come into the city centre every weekend to experience enjoyable and safe nights out. However, there will always be people who are feeling vulnerable in any large city centre on a Friday and Saturday night and the Safe Haven scheme will provide somewhere they can go without having to approach the emergency services directly.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “This safe haven will enhance the valuable work done by our emergency services, door staff and army of volunteers from the LGBT Foundation Village Angels, Manchester Street Angels who are out every weekend to keep people safe in our city centre.
“The safe haven will provide a place for people to chill out, perhaps recharge their phone, get support and ultimately get home safely.
“It will help to make sure that our police are freed up to keep our city’s streets safe, but most importantly it will mean people who could fall victim to crime are able to keep out of harm’s way.
“I hope this scheme is a success as it demonstrates how the emergency services, venues, charities and volunteers are all working together to make our city a fantastic place.”

Command module for "Skylab 4" -- the fourth manned mission to the Skylab space station. It occurred from November 16, 1973, to February 8, 1974. On display in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA. It consisted of the second stage of a Saturn IV-B rocket. Inside this stage was a second compartment, which formed a two-story area for work. The lower level contained the "Saturn workshop," while the upper area was a wardroom where eating, sleeping, physical exercise, and recreation could occur. Two huge solar panel arrays provided power to the station. A multi-section docking ring was attached to the station's nose, which allowed a traditional Command and Service Module unit to dock. Above the docking ring was the Apollo Telescope, a solar observatory.
Disaster struck on launch day. Just 63 seconds into the flight, the micrometeoroid shield around Skylab ripped free from the space station. Just three seconds earlier, the rocket had passed Mach 1, and was passing through the "Max Q" -- the period of maximum atmospheric dynamic stress on the spacecraft.
Rivets that didn't quite fit and seals which had not been totally completed allowed air to flow behind the shield at hypersonic speed. This caused the shield to partially deploy -- moving a few inches outward from the space station.
The shield ripped almost completely free from the space station, unpeeling like the skin of a fruit. As the shield ripped away, it caused one of the solar panels to partially deploy -- and it ripped almost completely free of the space station.
When the second stage separated from the space station at 9 minutes, 52 seconds into the flight, it fired retrorockets that allowed Skylab to move forward and away. These retrorockets, however, caused the damaged solar panel to rip completely free from Skylab.
At about 21 minutes into the flight, the Apollo Telescope Mount successfully deployed. At 26 minutes into the flight, the solar panels were supposed to deploy. But the micrometeoroid shield was wrapped around the only remaining solar panel arm, and the deployment pyrotechnics shorted out trying to move too much weight.
The micrometeoroid shield was designed to also function as a thermal shield. With this thermal shield gone, temperatures inside Skylab shot up to 225 degrees F. This weakened the skin of the space station, and NASA engineers refused to pressurize the station for fear that it would simply implode in orbit.
The first manned mission to Skylab, known as Skylab-2, was due to launch for the space station on May 5, but this was pushed back to May 20 in order to give NASA time to figure out what to do.
NASA engineers devised an umbrella-like device. This could be thrust out of the scientified airlock (an 8 inch by 8 inch opening designed to allow scientific instruments to be exposed to space but manipulated from inside the space station). By inserting a pole into the interior of the device, the "parasol" extended a 22 foot by 24 foot canopy made of gold nylon backed by metallized mylar. The astronauts had tried to free the trapped solar panel before docking, but failed. Three days later, after Skylab's batteries began to fail, another attempt was made -- this time via spacewalk. It nearly failed, but at the last moment the panel sprang free and fulled extended. (Skylab-3 would later deploy another parasol -- this one extended via two long arms -- on top of the first to help cool the station even further.)
Skylab astronauts flew to the space station using the same command and service modules first developed for the lunar landings. The service modules were used to carry all the supplies the astronauts would need. At the end of the mission, the capsule (command module) would detach from the service module. The serivce module would burn up on re-entry, while the command module would splash down and return everyone to Earth safely.
Skylab 4 launched on November 16, 1973. After 84 days in space, the astronauts returned to Earth on February 8, 1974. Commander Gerald P. Carr, Pilot William R. Pogue, and Science Pilot Edward G. Gibson conducted medical experiments, solar observations, studied the Earth, and made unplanned observations of Comet Kohoutek.

The car that soldiered on through all manner of hell, and came out king of the hill in the end, whilst by extension keeping the company afloat.
During the early 1970's the craze was the supercar, the Lamborghini Countach had shown the world the 'Wedge' and given us a new idea of speed with its 200mph cruising velocity. Across the world, everyone wanted a piece of the new supercar action, with the result of many weird and wonderful retreads. In Britain, it was a mixed bag. At British Leyland, they gave us the Triumph TR7, which leaked, broke and generally failed to deliver in spades, whilst at Lotus, they gave us the Esprit, and that was the exact opposite.
Originally, the concept dated back to 1972 when a concept car by Lotus was unveiled, being designed by the world famous ItalDesign, built onto the platform of the previous Lotus Europa. In the following years the design was tinkered and altered by renowned stylish Giorgetto Giugiaro in one of his memorable 'Folded Paper' designs, a nickname for his more angular models such as the DeLorean and the Maserati Merak. At the time the name was initially intended to be named the Lotus Kiwi, but instead chose Esprit to keep with the long running Lotus tradition of naming cars with the letter 'E'.
However, unlike the massively powerful supercars that the Esprit was meant to be competing with, the car was designed to embody both power and incredible handling. The engine was a lightweight 2.0L Type-907 4-Cylinder engine, a comparatively small powerplant that produced 160hp. But even so, the car had a top speed of 138mph and a 0-60 of 6.8 seconds, which even today isn't bad and could easily combat the likes of the modern Hot Hatchbacks. This is due largely to the fact that the original Esprit was built out of Fibreglass on a steel backbone chassis.
The original car was launched in 1975 at the Paris Motor Show, and at the start was a little lukewarm in its reception. Although it was lauded for its incredible handling and ability to grip just about any surface, the low power engine meant that it didn't take-off as much as it had intended, especially in the desired American market.
Fame thankfully was not that far away. At the time of production the James Bond films were looking for a new Bond Car, as it had been nearly 10 years since 007 had been paired with a single iconic motor. Seeing the opportunity for some product placement, Lotus' head of public relations, Don McLaughlin, decided to take matters into his own hands and drive a prototype Lotus with all the Lotus badges taped over to Pinewood Studios near London and park it outside the main office before going across the way to meet a friend. Within a matter of minutes a sizeable crowd had gathered to ogle the sublime mystery car. Eventually he came back, made his way through the crowds, climbed in and drove away without a word being said. It was ambitious, but it worked, and the film crew went out of their way to find out about this car.
In the end a Lotus Esprit was featured in the 1977 film 'The Spy Who Loved Me', where it was shipped to Corsica and became the epic motor in the fantastic escape scene between Bond, several henchmen in cars and a pursuing helicopter. During filming however, the chase was originally quite uninteresting as the Lotus' famous grip meant that performing powerslides and drifts were impossible. This led to the Lotus test driver, who had accompanied the car to the film site, taking over from the stunt driver and literally flailing the car and pushing it to its very limits to try and make the chase look more exciting. From that moment on, he took over as stunt driver and can be owed for making the spectacular chase even more spectacular, finishing off with one of the more iconic parts of the movie where the Lotus flew off the end of a jetty and splashed into the sea, turning into a submarine to investigate Karl Stromberg's underwater rig. Although the Esprit's featured in the underwater sequences were a mixture of models and miniatures with alkasalsa tables causing bubbles, Top Gear's Richard Hammond was able to prove that a submarine car could be made out of a technically similar Lotus Excel, although it did require the doors being welded, the tyres being filled with cement, the windows being replaced with perspex and the fitting of external propellers.
When the Spy Who Loved Me premièred in 1977, the Lotus Esprit was rocketed to fame for it's intense scenes, and what would have been an unremarkable 70's sports car became one of the most iconic motors of the decade. But sadly the end of the 1970's brought trouble to the Lotus company. An Oil Crisis sent fuel costs rocketing, and the idea of owning gas guzzling supercars became highly undesirable. This was compounded by a global recession which saw the promising American market collapse. Lotus' production fell from 1,200 cars per year to just under 400, and the company was unable to pay for the development of new models, which meant that the 10 year old Elite and Eclat couldn't be replaced. In 1982 the company's founder and famed Racing Driver Colin Chapman died suddenly of a Heart Attack, and his later involvement in the DeLorean scandal, which would have seen him imprisoned for at least 10 years for fraud if he had lived to see the trial, damaged the company's reputation. In 1994 the Lotus F1 team folded and at one point the company was so strapped for cash that they couldn't even fill the invoices. The company was bounced between ownership by General Motors, and then Luxembourg based A.C.B.N Holdings, and finally to Proton of Malaysia. But despite everything, the Lotus Esprit just kept on going, and kept the company alive, thanks largely to constant development.
Unlike many car companies struggling in the recession which maintained the continuous model and made only a few cheap alterations such as facelifts, the Esprit was developed time and time again to make a more innovative machine, but maintaining that winning style that had made it so popular in the first place. Changes to the drivetrain, updates in the engine, slight alterations to the styling and a continued competitive price tag made it cheaper than a Ferrari but just as desirable, often being quoted as 'Britain's Ferrari'. Another part of its success was down to its designers too, the fourth generation car being designed by Peter Stevens, who would later coin the McLaren F1, the world's fastest production car until the Bugatti Veyron of 2005. The fifth and final generation car of 1993 however has often been described as the best, combining the continued obsession with unbelievable amounts of grip, steering and handling with a 3.5L Lotus Type 918 Turbo V8, giving the car a top speed of 178mph at a rate of 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, which even today is fantastic and would easily put it in line with modern supercars. In straight lines the Esprit would struggle to keep up in a race, but on the corners, whilst other cars would slide and flail, the Esprit would be glued to the line and easily outdo the likes of the Ferrari 458.
Sadly, this performance couldn't bring the Esprit back to its bloom of youth, and the 28 year old design was eventually killed off in 2004 after 10,000 examples were built, being replaced by the Exige. However, plans were considered for a new Esprit to be launched in 2013 after unveiling a concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, but this was unfortunately not pursued and development was instead put into the Evora. Today Esprits are quite rare like many sports cars of the time, with later versions from the 1990's and early 2000's being more common than the early S1 and S2 models of the 70's and 80's.
But either way, the Esprit proved to the world that Britain could make a competitive, and powerful sports car. Although it wasn't exactly built for straight lines, Britain isn't a country that consists of straight roads, if you're off the motorway you'd be pressed to find a route that didn't wind and curve in every given direction. This is where the Esprit could win and indeed went on to do, often being considered the best handling sports car of all time, and one that defied the financial struggle, the recession, the fuel crisis, the scandal, the multiple ownerships and the failure of the company F1 team!

Launch Floral Nectar for Honeys
De afgelopen twee jaar werkten wij, founder van De Peerdegaerdt Hèlen Sturm, vegan chef Maartje Borst, herborist Lisette Kreischer en ondernemer Joost Verbakel aan 'de geboorte’ van onze mooie Floral Nectar. Een goudkleurig brouwsel gemaakt in co-creatie met de natuur, geïnspireerd door de seizoenen en in dienst van de Aarde en haar bestuivers.
Tijdens een heerlijke, zonnige september dag vond de zoete lancering plaats van dit bijzondere nieuwe product – Floral Nectar for Honeys . Op een magische plek in Nederland, het hart van The Happiest Healthy Farm, namen wij een select gezelschap op interactieve wijze mee in de totstandkoming van ons honingachtige, goudkleurige brouwsel.
Omringd door een ontluikende herfst hebben we in de eeuwenoude fruitboomgaard appels en peren geplukt, geproefd van het hand geperste sapje, een meanderende kruidenwandeling heeft Lisette geheimen onthuld over de medicinale werking van kruiden en planten om vervolgens na een verrassende tasting door Maartje verwend te worden met plantaardige seizoenslekkernijen. Dit alles ondersteund door de fenomenale bestuivende verhalen van Joost van Stichting The Pollinators.
We zijn trots op de enthousiaste reacties over ons nieuwe gouden brouwsel: een kruidige en zoete nectar, niet afgenomen van, maar in samenwerking met de bijen. En in diverse smaken, want Moeder Natuur is briljant; ze brengt ons allerlei bijzondere ingrediënten in een seizoensgebonden jasje, iets waar wij ons met plezier door hebben laten inspireren.
Vol vertrouwen kijken we uit naar een kennismaking met een breder publiek met behulp van onze eerste ambassadeurs.
This is something of a first to me; usually I don´t make this sort of things and it was extremely expensive to make. But the thing is, I felt that after so many ships built over the years, it would be fun to make something different. And indeed it was.
The model features a crane, many military representatives and lot´s of flags. It actually took me a lot of time to assemble all the flags of this model but I like the final result a lot!
Hope you guys like it! Don´t forget to leave a like and subscribe my instagram page:
