PromoMadrid agency is pushing hard to attract more investments into the city by emphasising that "Spain ranks sixth among OECD counties most invested by foreign companies". True, it was. The question is why do they need more? To waste more? No thank you very much.

On top of this, "MAD-RID" jingle badly suits the English audience as both "mad" and "rid" do not build a strong brand indeed. What a failed campaign, a good example for the business school though.

The power of wind

Wind power, despite being uneconomical and unsustainable, creates good awareness. Time ago we featured Vestas for their flashy ads.

Now EPURON has released a new, deep and philosophical, yet a bit sentimental, two-minute video:

Spoken with French accent of Quasimodo:

I think I was always misunderstood

People just didn't seem to like me

I think I know them, I got in their nose

I don't know why

But just the way it was

Yeah

Maybe I was too intense

Maybe I am just too strong

I don't know

I real.ly cannot say

Yeah

It was lone.ly, real.ly lone.ly

But you, you get used to it after a while

And then, one day, everything changed
Somebody final.ly accepted me for what I am

Since I landed in this job life is complete.ly different

I final.ly feel useful, good at something

The Wind.

Let's put his energy to good use.

EPURON - Investing in wind energy

In association with the German ministry for the environment

Final.ly German marketeers did learn the lesson from the French.

WE DON'T SAY OUR CARS ARE AS RELIABLE AS GERMAN ONES. THE GERMANS DO.

The Renault Clio was ranked Number 1 for reliability in its class (0 to 50,000 km) by the German certification body DEKRA* (results for 2008).

As for the Renault Laguna, ADAC placed it 2nd equal for reliability with the Audi A4 and the Mercedes C-Class** (results for 2008).

They also ranked both the Modus and the Clio as "excellent" in the category of reliability and breakdowns (results for 2008), while the Renault Scenic became the first people carrier to beat the Volkswagen Touran (results for 2008).

These results are a testament to Renault's commitment to both product and service quality, a major strategic focal point as defined by the company's President in the Contract 2009.
