Toyota have chosen 5 or 6 agencies and have asked them to spend $15,000 each on a “social media marketing campaign”. Think “stunt” and you have a better idea of what they are talking about.. And while traditional media pitches means war to get content into banner ads, on TV and radio, when it comes [...] AustraliaToyota Yaris social media campaign Downfall is a post from: Laurel...
I wonder how many of us, on hearing that someone in the UK had won £45m on the lottery - as yet unclaimed at the time of writing - wondered what we might do with the money. It's a silly game, but Gill started it last night over dinner. The worst of it was, that even though we do not buy lottery tickets, the thought of all that money was becoming a real worry.

So here' you go: The Hard Kandy Toyota Yaris. A bit disappointing, actually. It's essentially a 2010 Yaris liftback with the sport package, some pink graphics, 18" XXR wheels, and a pink interior. Compared to some of Toyota's previous Yaris SEMA cars , this one's a bit tepid.

It's Basically a White Macbook Pro To illustrate just how good the internals are on the MacBook, just compare them to the current base 13-inch MacBook Pro. Both have a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with...
