The new "smart fortwo" will be available in the USA beginning in the first quarter of 2008. "smart", like Mercedes-Benz and Maybach, is part of the Mercedes Car Group. This vehicle concept is highly practical - especially for people who live in cities or urban areas. Since on most journeys a car carries just a single occupant, people make faster progress through the city in a "smart fortwo" and they do not even need to search for a parking space - the "smart fortwo" can easily fit between in very limited space they can find one right away. |GlobalGiants.com|

Living smart: 'smart' bolsters market launch in the US with a unique concept in L.A.

Smart Car


Venice Beach/Los Angeles, CA., October 15, 2007 -- An exclusive studio building on Abbot Kinney Boulevard has been transformed into the "smart house", serving as the springboard for the US market launch of the 'smart' car in January 2008.

'smart' has begun preparations in the heart of the hip Venice Beach district, setting up a temporary showroom to demonstrate to customers, journalists and VIPs that the "smart fortwo" is much more than just an "economical, compact, and safe automobile."


Smart Car


"The 'smart' house will present the world and lifestyle of a typical 'smart' driver and convey the intrinsic values of this unique city car, showing visitors that bigger is not always better," says Anders Sundt Jensen, responsible for brand management at 'smart'. "We are putting forward a very personalized brand image, from the interior design to the presentation of the favorite leisure activities of 'smart' drivers and their attitudes to topics like the environment," continues Jensen.


Smart Car


While portraying the vibe of the 'smart' generation, the 'smart house' will also provide product information. Prospective buyers can receive consultation, configure their own 'smart' and take a test drive. Four 'smart fortwos' are on display inside the house. Visitors can reserve their very own 'smart fortwo' on the spot. According to the exhibitors, over 30,000 Americans have already reserved a fortwo on the company's website.


Smart Fortwo


Events relating to the areas of environment and climate protection, music, fashion, fine arts and zeitgeist will fill the 'smart house'. Since 1998, 'smart' has worked in close collaboration with musicians, fashion designers and artists and has been linking itself with innovation, the development of new ideas and unconventional ways of thinking. It is these principles that 'smart' is looking to export to the US before the official sales launch in January 2008.

The 'smart house' on Abbot Kinney Boulevard 1319, Venice Beach, Los Angeles California would remain open from 11 October 2007 to 25 January 2008; Tuesdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. |GlobalGiants.com|

Nike Opens New NIKEiD Studio in New York

NIKE

Nike today announced the opening of its first NIKEiD Studio at Niketown in New York City, giving consumers a more hands-on design experience and the power to design and create footwear, apparel and equipment for themselves, for their friends, and even to be purchased by others around the world.


NIKE


The NIKEiD Studio is a consumer destination for designing, personalizing and customizing Nike performance and sport culture footwear, apparel and equipment, and marks the beginning of a design community, both virtual and hands-on, for consumers to share ideas for NIKEiD.

Pilot NIKEiD Studios have opened in Paris, France and Osaka, Japan with New York being the first comprehensive space which will be followed by Niketown London in November.

The Niketown New York location also features a unique touch screen in the front window of the store where consumers will be able to design on the street before an audience. People will be able to email their designs from the touch screen to their friends, to their home computer or even purchase the design inside at Niketown. The screen will display a rotation of shoe designs from around the world that have been made by consumers at https://www.nikeid.com/ within the past hour. Each shoe posted will have the designer's name, the name of the creation, their country of origin, and the time it was designed.


NIKE


This new permanent installation on the fifth floor of Niketown puts the consumer in control of the design process and extends the NIKEiD experience beyond the computer screen where it has lived at https://www.nikeid.com/ almost exclusively since its inception in 1999.


NIKE


Consumers are greeted by a personal Design Consultant, their navigator through the world of design, at the beginning of each 45 minute session. The Design Consultant assumes the role of personal advisor, sounding board and confidante all rolled into one. He or she will help the consumer tap into their design potential. Once complete, designs can be purchased at Niketown and delivery scheduled.

NIKE, Inc. based near Beaverton, Oregon, is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities. |GlobalGiants.com|

An early childhood educator and owner of the Tucson-based Whole Child Learning Co., Kaminski drew inspiration for her entry from the myriad of activities she performs every day while caring for her 7-month-old daughter and 2-year-old son. Kaminski's entry won over the panel of mom-judges with its witty caption and humorous photo. Her winning caption reads:

All in a day's work: Accountant, activities director, chef, chauffer, counselor, delivery service, dispatcher, emergency responder, financial planner, judge, life coach, maid, music instructor, nurse, personal shopper, photographer, record keeper, rent-a-techie, rodeo clown, secretary, set designer, teacher, travel agent; whatever you call it, this Mom's favorite job is juggling!
