Brave Work Launches New Kia Cerato

Thanks to creative agency Brave, you can believe there is something going on at Kia, with their provocative launch of the new Kia Cerato. Taking a filmic, character-driven approach to what is increasingly becoming a lack luster category, Brave intends to set tongues wagging with their slick TV, online, and outdoor campaign for the Korean marque, previously only associated with price point retailing.

The fast paced film is more like a movie trailer, full of suspense and intrigue, subtitled foreign languages and emotive soundtrack. It details the headaches the Cerato is causing for higher priced car manufacturers around the globe (as if they needed any more headaches in the current economic climate).

Win £1000 Worth of Fuel with Haulage Exchange

There's unlikely to be much Christmas cheer for the haulage industry at large, with LEZ, lorry fuel prices and congestion charges conspiring to make hauliers lives a misery. Haulage Exchange is seeking to make 3 companies' lives a little bit easier this festive season, by providing 3 lucky winners with £1000 worth of fuel, simply for filling out a form - and the best thing is that it's open to all UK haulage companies, members and non-members alike.

Haulage vehicles take a lot more fuel than cars, and as such fuel stops racking a bill of up to £1000 aren't uncommon. For that reason, a free tank of lorry fuel can make a big difference to a lorry's profit margins. The competition doesn't require any specialist knowledge - it's simply a prize draw, so all you need to do is fill in a few details and submit.

Money Frames LLC Finally Launches Website For Their Retail and Whole Sale Clients

Money Frames LLC was started by Janet Sturman of Frantic Framers back in 2007 after her son Mike and now wife Linda opened their wedding gift. The way the gift was presented took center stage over the gift itself the couple recalls. "I had never seen a check presented that way before it was really unique and eye catching," says Linda Sturman. And on that day the idea for Money Frames was born.

You could say that Money Frames has been 36 years in the making. That is how long Janet and Paul Sturman have been in the custom picture framing business with their Quincy, Massachusetts based framing store Frantic Framers. (http://www.franticframers.com)

Can't Think of a Gift for Family Members with Dementia?

As we near the holiday season, more than 25 million family members will be asking themselves, "What can I get Mom or Dad, Grandma or Grandpa, who has Alzheimer's disease (AD)?

Believe it or not, there's a store in Atlanta that specializes in just that - products and gifts for people with dementia. Categories range from forgetfulness to comfort to activities to reminiscent videos. Each has a specific purpose, be it safety or just putting a big smile on the face of someone you love.

People in the later stages of AD may not be able to recognize their family members, but they still enjoy attention and appreciate a compliment. Among the gifts you can buy in The Alzheimer's Store is a fashionable Shoulder Shawl or Lap Cape with Pockets. Drape it over your loved one's shoulders for warmth or place them on their lap for comfort.

Another real "attention-getter" is the "My Baby" Doll. For those in the middle and later stages of the disease, who may become easily upset, here's a doll with dignity that will not only offer unquestioned love, but also cause all eyes to turn when held and cradled. Who isn't intrigued by a small baby? And this one feels and looks so real.

Mark and Ellen Warner, owners of the Alzheimer's Store, make it their business to understand AD and discover products for people with the disease or those caring for them. "For those in the early stages there is a clock that automatically displays the day and date, a lockable automatic medication dispenser (for those who need reminders to take their meds or who attempt to take them twice (double dose)), a telephone that allows the caller to just press the picture of the person they wish to call, and much more," explains Mark.

Ellen commented, "We also have important safety products that can alert caregivers to night time wandering or dangerous attempts to leave home." What better gift can you give than 'peace of mind'," she says.

Other Alzheimer's Store products range from the entertaining to the practical, addressing the most important caregiver needs. Mark says, "Each product has its own story. Most serve very important needs, unique to people with dementia."
