DigiGlass Window Film Installation for Citibase Coventry

(PRWeb UK) January 17, 2011

DigiGlass worked with Citibase’s Marketing Agency, Home Strategic UK, to produce and install the decorative window film. The unique product has been used to great effect to brighten up the walkway that was used to connect the old Rolls Royce factory with the offices now owned by Citibase. The window film has also been applied to the office windows to provide a cost-effective, branded glazing solution for the Company.

DigiGlass have perfected the technique of printing on PET substrate to produce manifestation film that delivers high impact graphics that appear as though printed direct to glass. In addition to the visual effect of the printed window film, DigiGlass delivers the additional benefits of helping to reduce UV light and solar heat and being shatterproof and bombproof.

DigiGlass is ideal for branding and glass decoration and has been used by advertising agencies on behalf of clients, architects, interior designers and companies directly as in the case of Citibase.

Dave Macdonald, Managing Director of DigiGlass commented, “DigiGlass was a perfect fit for the brief provided by Citibase in Coventry. The overhead walkway and office windows really stand out with the Citibase branding printed on PET window film. DigiGlass provided a contemporary yet sensitive branding solution for the walkway which is an important landmark in the area and of some historic significance.”

A gallery of the Citibase window film installation can be seen in the showcase on the DigiGlass website at digiglass.com.

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2008

Minor Emma Thayer, through her father, Gregory Jones, is suing Subaru of America for the wrongful death of her mother, Lisa Ann Thayer. Lisa Ann Thayer was fatally injured and her daughter, Emma, personally and emotionally injured, when their Subaru Forester rolled over. Lisa died at the scene. The national automobile defect law firm Bisnar Chase is representing Emma Thayer. The case was filed on August 25, 2008 in the Superior Court of California, Orange County, Case #30-2008-00109807.

According to court documents, on October 27, 2006, Lisa Ann Thayer was properly restrained in her Subaru Forester, traveling at highway speeds north down Interstate I-40 in an unincorporated area of San Bernardino County, California. Suddenly the Subaru Forester veered onto the south paved shoulder, rotated clockwise and then swerved north across both lanes of traffic, into the desert. Before coming to rest on its roof, the Subaru Forester rolled over two full times, causing personal injuries to Emma Thayer and catastrophic and fatal injuries to her mother, Lisa.

The court documents state that the Subaru Forester was defectively manufactured, having an unsafe restraint system and insufficient lateral and roll stability. During the accident, the restraint system failed, ejecting Lisa Ann Thayer through the windshield, causing serious lacerations and fatal injuries. Her daughter, Emma, witnessed the entire incident.

In her lawsuit, Emma Thayer is seeking medical expenses, loss of past and future earnings and earning capacity; general damages including loss of wrongful death, personal injuries, pain and suffering and legal costs..

“I’ll never comprehend how automakers like Subaru can be so cold-hearted and profit-driven,” said Brian Chase, partner in Bisnar Chase. “A mere $ 100 more added to production costs for seatbelts that don’t tear would have made the Subaru Forester a safer car and a mother would be alive today for her young daughter.”

About Bisnar Chase

Bisnar Chase is a national auto defect law firm that represents people who have been very seriously injured in an auto accident due to an auto defect. They have won numerous cases for their clients against Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and most of the Japanese manufacturers. For more information, visit: www.autodefect.com.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ (PRWEB) July 9, 2007

With a new campaign featuring offbeat characters from driving lessons past, BMW of North America will encourage drivers to consider how times have changed since their first lesson — and who taught them. With elements such as an independent, non-branded micro-site and viral videos, BMW of North America tackles more than just what car to drive as it launches “Relearn to Drive,” a creative campaign for the BMW Performance Driving School in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with Austin-based GSD&M. The campaign aims to bring the BMW Performance Driving School to life by posing the question, “Who taught you to drive?” The campaign will drive people to visit www.RelearnToDrive.com, which is centered on the idea that much of what drivers originally learned was incorrect or no longer applies, and the BMW Performance Driving School is the place to right those wrongs.

The campaign appears in select auto and lifestyle publications, such as Roundel, Autoweek and Road and Track; online via driving enthusiast sites, such as AutoWeek.com and RacingSchools.com; video sites, including YouTube and Google Video; and on postcards distributed at BMW events nationwide this summer. The campaign will also appear in The Onion — in print and online — as part of a sponsorship.

The “Relearn to Drive” web site features videos of nine eccentric, over-the-top characters that capture the multitude of ways people may have been taught to drive, including several listed below:

    Mom insists that her son must always use two feet when driving, despite what his father tells him;
    Dad, nervous with clipboard and checklist in hand, gives his son a strict lesson;
    Grandpa, dressed in his old military uniform, says it’s time teach his grandson to be a man, and driving a car is “just like driving a submarine — except the car isn’t packed with torpedoes;”
Visitors to the site will also be able to send humorous email postcards with video to friends and family – customized with a link to the video or just the video — letting them know that perhaps their driving could use some work. In a separate section of the web site, information and high-quality video footage of the BMW Performance Driving School in action will be available.

The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of the BMW Performance Center and BMW Performance Driving School – a 134-acre, state-of-the-art driving facility equipped with closed courses, water walls, a skid pad and an off-road course – as the embodiment of the BMW brand experience for minimal financial commitment. The Driving School offers several programs, including one- and two-day Driving Schools, one- and two-day Teen Driving schools, one- and two-day M Schools for high-performance driving, and an Advanced M School at the Virginia International Raceway to learn highly aggressive driving techniques on professional courses.

“Many drivers on the road today have not considered just how times — and cars — have changed since they learned to drive, and this campaign will serve as an entertaining wake-up call that perhaps we could all stand to learn something new,” said Jack Pitney, Vice President, Marketing, BMW of North America. “Increasing awareness of the programs we offer at the BMW Performance Driving School will let people know there is a fun way to hone those skills we all may have to use one day, no matter what kind of car they drive.”

“BMW’s commitment to great ideas goes beyond engineering the best automobiles – they’re dedicated to improving the entire driving experience,” said John McGrath, Vice President of Communications for GSD&M. “This interactive campaign is a humorous look at how most of us got started behind the wheel and highlights the opportunity to relearn those skills and upgrade the pleasure of driving.”

About GSD&M:

GSD&M is a leading marketing and communications company, founded in 1971 by friends who wanted to stay together in Austin after graduating from college. Through Purpose-Based Branding and DynamicCollaboration, GSD&M strives to serve up visionary ideas that make a difference to our clients’ businesses.

BMW Performance Center:

The BMW Performance Center, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, comprises the BMW Performance Driving School – a 134-acre, state-of-the-art driving facility equipped with closed courses, water walls, a skid pad and an off-road course; a multi-purpose conference center; customer delivery center; and a service, paint and body facility. The 64,000 square-foot complex opened in 1999 and offers multiple BMW Performance Driving School courses year-round from BMW-certified Driving Instructors for teenagers up to experienced driving enthusiasts.
