Any Ford marketing peeps in here?

[jimxms]

Or if not does anyone have any contacts other than the main marketing ones that rarely get looked at on the Ford website?

I've got something that a bright spark at Ford (UK) marketing might well be interested in, but have had no luck (unsurprisingly) in making contact with a human being at Fords.

Bump! If anyone has any pointers It'd really help.

What sort of thing is it? I might be able to help.

Have you discovered that the new Clio is made with forced child labour or something?

Its regarding the launch of the new Fiesta ST, I have something that I believe can be used as part of a massive online branding campaign. In my eyes, a real game changer.

I thought that was common knowledge

I met someone from Ford marketing at Motorcycle Live (he was cars, just also at the bike show), lost his card and got through to him via the switchboard after a quick search on google.

Not exactly. I wasn't even aware of how relevant it would be until I did some research and found out about the launch of the new Fiesta ST (not a massive Ford follower).

I'm happy to share the idea privately (as it's not something that can be poached), but I'd like to know that anyone I share it with either works for Ford or is able to put it to the right people.

I know a chap who's business is marketing, specialising in online and digital. If you'd like to PM me an outline brief, I'll get in contact. He hasn't worked for ford himself, but I believe he has contacts who have done/do

I'm the Sales Manager for a Ford dealer within a large group that is very well thought of within Ford of Britain, I should be able to help put you in the right direction.

Thanks, I'll give him a try.

I think what I really need though is someone who has a foot in the door so that the idea doesn't get immediately dismissed by the legal eagles who can't accept ideas because yadday yadda yadda...

Bottom line though is that I'm looking to sell this idea, so by virtue it would become the property of Ford and therefore not one of those things that could come back and bite them in the ass at a later date with me saying "hey that was my idea.."

One last bump to see if anyone else has any Ford marketing contacts as I've not had much luck yet.
