We're Talkin' Imported from Brampton, Ontario

I had a great time last week on the Adverve Podcast (Show #71: Autobahnned) hosted by Bill Green and Angela Natividad where we discussed quite an interesting blend of topics including Chrysler's Imported from Detroit campaign, the recent Buick NCAA integration, some stuff on what I do heading social media at AT&T, and to start it all off we talked local food and gas station tacos for half of the show (checkout my latest blog: http://www.gasstationtacos.com for more information about that.)

Please follow both of them on twitter and subscribe to Adverve on iTunes, it really is a great show and both Bill (@mtlb) and Angela (@LucktheLady) have a sharp wit and great perspectives on the marketing industry. I listen to their show often and can't recommend it enough.

Joining the Panel on The Bean Cast Marketing Podcast

Hopefully you enjoy listening to Podcasts as much as I do and there are some great automotive ones out there including Auto Bird and Autoline Detroit After Hours. I'm also a fan of some marketing Podcasts too and Bob Knorpp's The Bean Cast is definitely the one I listen to the most. Fortunately I had a chance to join the panel discussion for a third time last weekend.

We had a great cast including Jeff Cutler, Valeria Maltoni, and Åsk Wäppling. We covered quite a few topics including the Social Bowl, Kenneth Cole and Taco Bell PR gaffs, GroupOn promotion fatigue, Google's "Bing Sting", and WebTrends report on poor performance from Facebook's ads. There was quite a bit of discussion on the automotive ads that were to come on the Super Bowl (we taped the Saturday morning before the big game.)

AutoBird Podcast – Esp15: “A Better Tomorrow?”

I had the pleasure last Sunday to be the first guest on the Autobird Podcast. The Podcast is hosted by automotive bloggers Colin Bird (@Auto_Bird) and Joel Feder (@joelfeder) both of whom I've got to know through Twitter and when they have visited Detroit for various automotive events. Autobird covers automotive industry news, car reviews, and this last weekend we even talked about marketing.

This week covered the following topics:

* Chevrolet Malibu is a great car but sales disappoint?
* American Top Gear still Lives?
* Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring may get new names?

We then proceed to the clip of the week segment. This week we featured the Super Bowl commercial from Dodge – Man’s Last Stand

Last but certainly not least, we discuss our main topics. This week those topics included the Chicago Auto Show and Toyota’s a better tomorrow.

One last comment: The show image was done by Colin. He gets some sort of sick pleasure inserting people into ridiculous scenes. If you find the Photoshopped Caravaggio painting disturbing, you're not alone. The only saving grace is that Colin didn't put me in Muppet outfit like he has done to his co-host Joel.

Please checkout Joel and Colin's blogs too. They bring their own unique perspectives to the industry that are definitely worth a read.
