Challenge the Market Leaders!

"How is the Internet changing the way people do business? How is it boosting the PR practice? How can small companies use the internet to challenge the huge marketing budgets of bigger rivals?"

A new music band making their music available free online, using good PR, and making it to the Top 40 chart without the financial backing of a major label....impressive stuff.

Some food for thought here.

Mercedes AMG new website wins too many awards

Mercedes_amgAvenue A / Razorfish has created a new website for Mercedes-Benz AMG. Mercedes-AMG's website takes users on an interactive drive of the AMG brand, automobiles and its unique headquarters in Affalterbach. The site's design and handling mirrors the AMG racing driven experience. Scott Preacher, client partner of Avenue A / Razorfish East comments:

"Our goal was to build a web presence that clearly articulated the Mercedes-AMG brand while leveraging the latest in rich media technology. The new Mercedes-AMG website delivers a truly unique interactive experience -- one that invites users to immerse themselves in the world of AMG automobiles."

The site, available in English and German, is really nice and makes you perceive the Mercedes brand value. It makes a good use of video, but the sound design is rather poor. I still want one though.
