Acura Underscores Industry-leading Safety Performance with Emotional New Marketing Campaign

Acura Underscores Industry-leading Safety Performance with Emotional New Marketing Campaign

TORRANCE, California, Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Acura has taken a safety leadership position as the only automotive brand to earn a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) and a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) across its entire model line1. Based on the brand’s commitment to the latest safety design and implementation of advanced safety and driver-assistive technology, Acura earned top overall safety ratings from the U.S. government and the IIHS across its model line. Acura will showcase its leadership in a new high impact and emotional national advertising campaign (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zzqtX514-Y&feature=youtu.be) highlighting the brand’s dedication to safety performance.

Acura Underscores Industry-leading Safety Performance with Emotional New Marketing Campaign

“At Acura, safety has been a part of our engineering culture and DNA since the inception of the brand nearly 30 years ago, something affirmed by these industry-leading safety ratings,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager, Acura division. “The national advertising campaign illustrates the passion we have for not only achieving safety leadership but also the motivation behind our safety efforts.”

This is the second time in Acura history that the brand has achieved industry-leading safety status by earning the highest available ratings from both NHTSA and IIHS at the same time across in its lineup. In 2009, Acura was the first brand ever to simultaneously earn top safety ratings from NHTSA and IIHS across the model lineup. Additionally, Acura was the first automotive brand to introduce advanced driver-assistive technology to the luxury market by offering autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with the introduction of its Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) on the 2006 Acura RL.

“Building upon the robust ACE™ body structure, we have achieved a new level of occupant protection and with AcuraWatch™ we help the driver mitigate, and at times avoid, collisions,” said Chuck Thomas, chief engineer automotive safety, Honda R&D Americas, Inc. “Looking ahead, our research in advanced automated driving technology has the potential to help realize our dream of a collision-free mobile society, perhaps within the next few decades.”

Acura safety leadership is further highlighted by the fact that the brand is the only automaker to offer all three advanced technology features (Front Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Rearview Camera) recommended by the NHTSA on all of its models, delivered in the AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies2. Additionally, Acura is the only brand in the industry to receive the top rating of “Superior” across its model line1 for its front crash prevention technology.

Acura’s Safety Advertising Campaign

While other luxury automotive brands use close call scenarios and crash demonstrations to depict safety messages, Acura is taking a more emotional approach with its safety campaign by focusing on the brand’s philosophy of putting people first. The initiative is the first emotionally-driven safety campaign for the brand.

In an integrated campaign, including :15, :30 and :60 spots; digital advertising and a dedicated landing page, the viewer sees an Acura engineer prepare for a controlled laboratory safety test and load human-like figures into an Acura MDX. The figures, a man; woman and two young children, are the engineer and his family. As the car accelerates, the camera cuts back inside the car to reveal the passengers have been traditional crash test dummies all along; the engineer envisioned the figures as his own family.

The spot cuts away from the safety test and displays the message: “When you don’t think of them as dummies, something amazing happens.” The spot ends by promoting the brand’s achievement in earning top overall safety ratings across its entire model line.

“We wanted to capture how our Acura engineers believe safety transcends technology; it’s really about putting people first,” said Leila Cesario, national advertising manager, Acura division. “As safety is the third top purchase consideration for luxury buyers, an emotional campaign like this illustrates how important safety performance is for Acura and luxury buyers alike.”

The campaign includes placement on national network and cable television, major web portals, video streaming and digital lifestyle verticals.

Who Saves Lassie? It’s Time for National First-Responder Training for Animal Rescue

0

LEICESTER, Mass., Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — October marks two important national monthly observances: Fire Safety, and Animal Safety & Protection. It’s time to check the operation of your home’s fire alarms—and to ask if your local fire department has been trained in rescue and first aid for your pets.

In 2004, Bart, a 13-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, was lost in a Minnesota house fire.  By the time Bart was located, he was unresponsive. Unfortunately, the firefighters who responded to the fire were not equipped with the knowledge or resources needed to save Bart’s life. 

The ASPCA estimates 70 to 80 million dogs and 74 to 96 million cats are owned in the U.S., with more than 60 percent of households including a dog or cat. In addition, in 2014 the National Service Animal Registry reported about 7,000 emotional support animals—four times the number four years ago.  While exact statistics are hard to ascertain, unofficial reports of the U.S. Fire Administration estimate 40,000 to 150,000 pets die in household fires each year. Pets that are home alone have no way to escape a fire. Smoke alarms help humans, but the loud noise often sends pets into hiding. And firefighters who rescue pets are often ill-equipped to provide lifesaving services and oxygen to the animals efficiently.

To avoid tragic losses like Bart’s, Becker College provided a day of free first-responder training on the care and handling of animals during emergencies. Basic Animal Rescue Training (BART)—a Minnesota-based professional organization founded in 2004 by veterinarian Dr. Janet Olsen in response to Bart’s death (Olsen and her husband, a firefighter, were Bart’s owners)—has, to date, trained more than 5,000 first responders in Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma—and now, in Massachusetts.

The sad reality is most firefighters are not trained in animal rescue and first aid. A colleague who recently passed the fire captain’s exam had to read dozens of textbooks. When asked what he had learned about animal rescue in house fires, he said there are no books: “If we feel there is a chance to make a rescue, we always try to help. We are given no training on animal rescue, but we would love to have the training available.”

Emergency personnel—police, firefighters, paramedics, and other first responders—are responsible for the protection and preservation of life and property. By law, pets are both living and our property. It is time we gave all first responders the authority, liability protections, and—most important—the training to save the lives of our pets. The creation of national first-responder training for animal rescue is not complicated—or costly. BART already has Department of Homeland Security-approved curriculum in place; the Emergency Medical Kits, which contain everything used in the training, cost less than $1,000 per firehouse or emergency center. 

Hurricane Katrina demonstrated the systemic failure of emergency services and emergency management to plan and care for animals in disasters. This led to passage of the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act, which requires that pets be included in emergency evacuation plans.  To meet this requirement, first responders should be trained to deal with domestic animals in the initial phase of an emergency or disaster. What remains is for municipalities to establish laws and/or policies that provide for liability, training and training resources, and continuing education for emergency personnel.

With the skills learned through BART, first responders provide safe and effective care of animals in disasters. When animal lives are saved, human lives are also saved. Let us all urge our municipalities to follow the lead of Colorado, which approved the first laws in the nation to allow first responders to attend to pets during emergency calls. This is not merely a service to the animals that provide us with unconditional love and support, but also to their humans, who love them and derive great social, emotional, and psychological benefit from them. 

This editorial was written by Julie Bailey, DVM, medical director of the Becker College animal health center and interim dean of the School of Animal Studies.

The national pride of soccer fans throughout the Americas will be on full display as they prepare to cheer for their favorite teams. CONCACAF will be represented by Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico and The United States. Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay and host country Chile will represent CONMEBOL.

The FIFA U-17 World Cup has helped launch the careers of several notable soccer players including Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley (USA); Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez (Argentina); and U-17 World Cup Champions from Mexico Carlos Vela (’05), Giovani Dos Santos (’05) and Julio Gomez (’11).

Argentina has competed in the U-17 World Cup tournament 12 times (only Brazil and the U.S. have more appearances). This team has multiple scoring threats that are able to strike at almost any time, which makes La Albiceleste well-armed as it makes its bid to be crowned U-17 World Cup Champion.

Brazil has one of the strongest U-17 World Cup records of any nation that has competed in this tournament (14 Finals, three titles). The Brazilians have also finished runners-up twice, in 1995 and 2005, and took third place in 1985. Leading up to this year’s tournament in Chile, the offense for this squad has proven to be a scoring juggernaut. The defense for A Canarinha has raised questions at times. Coach Caio Zanardi has stated that his team will be prepared on both sides of the ball.

Host country Chile is making its third appearance in this tournament. The team’s best performance was in in 1993, when it finished third. This year’s group of young players is looking to “shock the world” with a performance that will be worthy of a champion.

Soccer in Costa Rica has continued to get stronger and now its U-17 team has a chance to make history on one of the biggest stages in sports. This will be the team’s eighth trip to the U-17 tournament and it is hopeful for a better outcome than in past years. According to head coach Marcelo Herrera, the team’s confidence is growing and his squad is making progress.

This is the fourth year that the team from Ecuador will play in the U-17 World Cup. Heading into this tournament, the Ecuadorians conceded fewer goals (8) that any other side in U-17 World Cup qualifying competition. The experience of coach Jose Javier Rodriguez will be critical for his team to be ready to take on the many of the world’s best squads.

This year marks Honduras’s fourth time participating in the U-17 World Cup. During its first two tournaments, Los Catrachos did not advance past group stage competition. Its third year in the tournament resulted in playing in a quarter-final game in which the team suffered a close loss. Having now qualified for back-to-back World Cup, the Honduras coach believes his guys can go all the way.

For Mexico, the expectations of its nation are high. El Tri has made 11 appearances in this U-17 tournament and has won it twice (2005, 2011). The two-time champion is ready to go, according to the team’s head coach Mario Arteaga. He has stated that Mexico’s past success in this tournament should not provide added pressure for this group of young men to take home the trophy, as they are already committed to succeed and achieving something big. During the most recent U-17 World Cup, Mexico made it all the way to the finals before losing to Nigeria 3-0. 

The Paraguay team has plenty of optimism and talent, as it prepares for its third U-17 World Cup. However, La Albirroja has not been as consistent on both defense and offense this year as coach Carlos Jara Saguier would like. His team went undefeated in its group stage competition (scoring more than any other team), but faltered during subsequent match play during the South American U-17 Championship.

The United States has competed in 14 of the 15 U-17 World Cups. But, it has never won. For the Stars and Stripes, success is not automatic. This squad made getting to this tournament more difficult than what was expected of it – securing one of the last two spots with a win over Jamaica in the CONCACAF U-17 World Cup Qualifying Tournament. But, for head coach Richie Williams the focus has long shifted from qualifying for this World Cup to now winning it.

PALO ALTO, California, Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hand in Hand Parenting launched a stretch goal on its successful Indiegogo campaign, which will allow Patty Wipfler’s upcoming book to be translated into Spanish, starting on Thursday, October 15, 2015. http://igg.me/at/ParentingbyConnectionBook

Over 2 million parents per year access the tools of Hand in Hand Parenting, through booklets, website materials, online courses and in-person meetings.  The founder of Hand in Hand Parenting is writing a book, financed though a successful $50,000 Indiegogo campaign.  With the next $15,000, Hand in Hand will translate the upcoming book into Spanish, providing Spanish-speaking parents and caregivers, for the first time, a one-stop resource for deepening the connection with their children.

A close parent-child connection throughout childhood is the strongest factor in preventing social and health problems—involvement in drugs, violence, and unintended pregnancies among them. Hand in Hand furnishes powerful tools for building and repairing the parent-child connection. Giving parents the tools to lift difficulties out of their children’s lives will foster generations of emotionally and socially intelligent leaders. Skills to build human connection will make all the difference in this challenging century.

As one parent recently said, “When I discovered Hand in Hand, I had three children. Now, I have a family.” This book project will ensure English and Spanish speaking parents have easy access to the transformational tools of Hand in Hand Parenting.

A Florida Company, TriOwl, Announces An Innovative Concept To The Online Market: It Will Donate Up To 50% Of Its Net Profits

NAPLES, Fla., Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  It is not very common in this day and age, to see a business that just began ITS operations making an announcement that will donate up to 50 % of their profits.

How is it possible to survive in a competitive arena where most companies that are born here in the United States eventually fail in the first year of operations?

“The numbers are staggering. Out of the 38,000 companies that will be created this year, 75 % are destined to fail. Statistically it is a nightmare,” says Belen Rivera, a young entrepreneur of only 19 years of age who, has the idea to use a popular crowd funding website, to launch the first campaign of her dream project: TriOwl, Clothing with a Purpose.

“The guarantee of our sustained growth and impact in a competitive market such as the online clothing business are the customers themselves,” Belen emphasized. “Our commitment is to offer a combination of two key elements for the total satisfaction of our customers: first, a high quality product, and second, a purpose that seeks to solve a serious social problem, which will eventually affect the American society,” she concludes.

Business gurus agree that this century is highly influenced by the “millennial culture.” This young and vibrant culture is described by Karl Moore in an interesting article published by Forbes magazine: “The Millennials are constantly looking for a purpose in everything they do.” So if companies want to be successful in the market, they should keep this cultural aspect in mind.

“A purpose. This is what we believe the business vision of the third millennium should be,” says Alan Rivera, President & CEO and father of Belen, who is fully confident in the success of TriOwl, Clothing with a Purpose. “TriOwl combines the keys to this new competitive market: high quality of garments made with 100 % Peruvian Pima cotton (which is considered the best cotton in the world) and invite potential costumers to discover themselves in a common purpose, helping thousands of children living in miserable conditions to have a better life surrounded by love, health, education, and success,” says Alan.

What TriOwl sets since the beginning of this first campaign —apart from other companies that donate clothing or food to the poor— is an innovative and bold scale of donations of their own net profits, which ranges from 10 % to even 50 % of them. In this way, they plan to develop a larger project: to finance homes to save street orphans and extremely poor children in Latin America where they will be living in a house, with a father and a mother.

“They will have parents that love them. These are not orphanages, but real homes, so the children will no longer be orphans,” emphasizes Belen. “It is a kind of challenge: our donations grow as our sales grow, and that is where our customers will feel that their purchases have a clear purpose and a positive social impact,” says Alan.

This week TriOwl, Clothing with a Purpose, launched its campaign through kickstarter.com, where dozens of people have already started to pre-order one or more pieces of clothing made of 100 % Peruvian Pima cotton.

If success is on this company’s side, they will surely set a business trend to be followed in the near future.
