Attention Getter: Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
Psychological Orientation: It’s easy enough to say that by this time in your lives, most of you have probably become licensed to drive. Another majority of you have become car owners, and the rest of you will most likely follow within the years to come. After having worked for BMW for an extensive amount of time, it’s become evident to me on how people put trust in a well known brand, or should I say roundel. Not only this, but people trust in a company that has a long and successful history.

Conclusion
Logical Closure: In conclusion, today I’ve shared with you a little about the BMW heritage and how the BMW brand symbol came to be.
Psychological Closure: Now that you know a little more about this corporate logo and it’s representation of what they say to be the “Ultimate Driving Machine”, when you look behind or in front of you while in your commute, you’ll now know that the BMW brand and roundel came a long way to getting applied to that vehicle.

Clincher: I know many of you may not enjoying marketing and branding as much as I do, but I find it truly impressive that one marketing notion can go on for almost 90 years, unchanged and uncorrected. So next time you’re in a rip roaring game of trivial pursuit, because I know that’s what all of you do in your spare time, you can eloquently tell, or even correct your competition on what the BMW roundel was based off of, not airplanes, but the free state of Bavaria and the companies that founded BMW.

Over the past sixty years, the American car scene has been dominated by two completely different vehicles and the entire communities that believe in them. Both designed, founded, and rooted in Detroit, Michigan, the Ford Mustang and the Corvette have continued to fuel the chase for the label of America’s true muscle car. The question over the years has been, why and how do consumers choose which to own, and which one is our “bald eagle”? Investigating deeper into the roots of each American superpower, it all began with introduction of something that would change the automotive industry forever. “Corvette: Dream Car Come True”, is an article that highlights the beginning of the car movement in the United States: the birth of Chevrolet’s Corvette. “Born in 1953 at the General Motors plant in Flint, Michigan, the Corvette grew up on the raceway and has ruled the road ever since” (Seiden 14). The article also goes on to mention that “the Corvette is not for racers only. True car lovers own Corvette cars for everyday driving… and the highest performance standards have been built into every model” (Seiden 14). Early dominance of Corvettes on and off the racetrack, led other competitors such as Ford Motor Company wonder why and how the Corvette could be out-driven and out-sold. Directly opposing the release of the Corvette and its multipurpose ingenuity “Lee Iacocca, then general manager of Ford Motor Company, challenged his design team to create a car that could be driven ‘to
It is important to realize the basic facts that are associated with cars and with BMW in particular, and that different demographic are attracted towards different types of car, to later understand that even though the product in the ad may be amazing but the ad itself is not. Did you know that in 2010 the number of cars in the world reached a billion (Noël)? Today’s culture is highly surrounded and based on the use of cars. They are such a prominent part of our culture today that if an alien were to visit our planet right now they might just consider cars to be the dominant form of life (The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy). There are so many different types, and makes of cars that they can suit any personality in the world.
I reviewed some different car dealerships, mainly I did an analysis of Mercedes, with a little bit of research I found that there are flaws in other vehicles as well, not just with BMW. When looking up Mercedes problems, the same as I did with BMW, I found multiple people with issues, just like with BMW. One person stated that he had an issue with his water pump on his Mercedes car. The same person also said that he was already on his third water pump on his car. More research showed that BMW stacked up pretty well against the

Attention grabber: You’re on the highway, cruising around at normal speed, singing along with your favorite song, nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly, the car in front of you breaks hard and you realize it’s too late to brake without getting in an accident. You look at your left side mirror and realize there’s a car next to you. You have two options, break hard and prepare yourself to crash or have let your car do the work for you and let it brake for you before you even realize that the car in front of you braked
Three honks. Ready, set, go. The moment every car enthusiast dreams of at night. Chances are you might not even know what a car enthusiast is. Some say it's your average car guy that likes to stare at cars and talk about cars all day long, but there's much more too it. See, you can't be the average person to be a car enthusiast. The average person may see an old car at a junkyard and just think well, it's just another piece of junk. Too a car enthusiast he sees a piece of art. He or she witnesses something they can build and make into something truly special.

Attracting younger customer also help us improve brand image compare to competitor. From data (Chart 4) we can see that BMW driver are younger compare to main competitor, such as Lexus and Mercedes, if we can make BMW brand attach with “young “ and then make other competitor brand look old this will help to attract more younger customer and make them commit to use BMW for the rest of their life. Another thing that we can see from BMW customer base is while average ages of BMW owner are younger but their average incomes are higher we make people remember that BMW is the car for “highly educate, bright, affluent person who want to have a great driving experience”. If we can own that position which utilize BMW strong point as “Ultimate driving machine” then push other competitor to “car for boring and old people”. This campaign also improve brand image by reduce bad thing that associate with BMW brand such as “Status symbol, Yuppie-Machine” and also stress what BMW is all about “amazing performance” and try something new and exciting. This show people what make a BMW a BMW which is the main purpose of this campaign.
