Hollywood and the entertainment business, know the press game better than anyone else. Being seen is the key.
It has long been an adage around Tinsel Town that says "Write what you want, but make sure you spell my name right".
Have confidence, even negative articles will help sell Smart.
Two big, Sunday articles were written by the Detroit papers last Month. SOS and more so, (as well you can imagine from the home of the big three. ). Yet they filled two pages full of nice color photos of our cars. We won again!
As long as they are talking, Smart wins. When they stop, we lose.
The only source that really concerns me is Consumer Reports. I'm up for at least a pass here.
