BMW’s Efficient Dynamics “On the Run”

BMW Asia recently announced its co-sponsorship of the upcoming Standard Chartered Marathon in Singapore. BMW along with the Singapore Sports Council unveiled a series of initiatives aimed at further engaging participants and improving the experience for runners leading up to and during the race.

A highlight of the partnership is a chance for Full and Half Marathon runners to win a brand new BMW X1 by joining Team BMW. This will be complemented with a series of activities including running clinics where runners will be given expert coaching ahead of the race in December 2011.

BMW will also be sponsoring the pacers programme for Full Marathon runners. And as the Official Car Sponsor, BMW cars will also be deployed to provide medical, logistics and operational support on race day.
BMW & Sports Marketing Sports marketing has enabled BMW to engage with customers during activities that form an integral part of their lifestyle. Sports has been used to communicate BMW’s competitive characteristic, which has long been an integral part of their brand, in the form of motorsports as well as other kinds of sports.

“Our involvement in sports does not only come in the form of mere monetary sponsorship. We also apply our core competence in design and technology in the development of certain sport equipment to create the competitive edge for the team,” explains Mr. Lito German, Marketing Director, BMW Asia.

Running & BMW EfficientDynamics
The BMW brand has long been associated with premier sports events worldwide and the co-sponsorship of the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore is a continuation of this.

In this case, BMW communicates a synergy between the core principles of running and BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy, as marathon runners and BMW have the same ultimate goal: To Run Faster and Farther on Less Energy. BMW’s goal is to increase the awareness and appreciation for BMW EfficientDynamics – the technology enables each and every BMW car with more efficient energy usage and less carbon emission, while simultaneously enhancing its performance.

Says Mr. German: “The philosophy of the Efficient Dynamics technology comprises of a highly efficient engine through air and fuel management, minimized energy loss, lightweight design and superior aerodynamics. In our view, the same principle applies to that of competitive long-distance running which similarly aspires to run faster and farther with lesser energy.”

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
