Ford Fiesta Movement in the Blogosphere this week

It was definitely a busy week for the Ford Fiesta Movement.  We believe that is a combination of the growing excitement of the 2011 Ford Fiesta release and the first full week of the Ford Fiesta Movement: Chapter 2.  Review the great articles below and you be the judge.

Lobese, a New York City Art Director and self-proclaimed “digital dork” is a member of Team Brooklyn for Ford Fiesta Movement: Chapter 2.  The first mission for the agents of Chapter 2 was to create a wrap for their Fiestas.  Lobese (and her teammate Caitlin-Marie) created a “Bling’d out, Brooklyn bodega culture inspired Ford Fiesta.”  Great creativity and unique design.

A nice patrol woman stops another 2011 Ford Fiesta to admire the car (or maybe the young men inside?)  You be the judge.  Unfortunately, the patrol woman, the driver, the videographer or the blog writer share which team this is so we cannot provide you with the team name.

For all hockey fans, check this out.  The Edmonton Oilers will possibly give you a 2011 Ford Fiesta at one of their games.  Here is the deal.  The Edmonton Oilers and Ford Canada have teamed to possibly give away a Fiesta to a highly skilled hockey fan at their April 7, 2010, game in Edmonton against the Colorado Avalanche.  Head over to edmontonoilers.com/fiesta for game rules and qualifications.  Good luck.  Hey, even if you do not lose you can still possibly be one of six fans chosen to watch the game in the executive suite.

Noted marketer Jeff Bullas wrote a somewhat controversial post titled, “Who Is Winning at Social Media Marketing: Ford or General Motors?“  The article seemed pretty vanilla and neutral.  However, people commenting on the article were pretty passionate about their brands–much more so than comments by Scott Monty, head of social media at Ford Motor Company, and Christopher Barger, director of social media at General Motors.

2011 Ford Fiesta S2000 Rally Car Drivers Charl Wilken and Greg Godrich gave a clear description of their opening race in the 2010 Sasol SA Rally Championship.  Expectation and excitement were at an all-time high for this team due to the relentless interest of the 2011 Ford Fiesta, the press coverage of the Rally Championship and the early championship success of the team.  Read the story and see how the team did.

The second Ford Fiesta team we reviewed this week was Team Philadelphia.  Their team of Mikey and Tim will be strolling around the streets of Philadelphia in their Fiesta.  They introduced their upcoming Chapter 2 adventure on the popular Philadelphia geek blog, Geekadelphia.com.

Scott Monty made the headlines again this week in another interview.  This interview was conducted by Lee Oden of TopRank, a top ranked blog (we could not help ourselves… funny, right?) at Ford Motor Company’s World Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.  This interview was not as animated as the previous interview Scott Monty was involved in earlier in the week, but definitely a genuinely nice Scott Monty shares wonderful successful social media insights of Ford Motor Company and their plans to become “a car, utility and truck company” instead of “just a truck and mustang company” in the upcoming years.

We must admit that the 2011 Ford Fiesta is definitely a car to buy for 2010.  But who are we to toot our own horn?  G.E. Miller, the creater of 20SomethingFinance.com shared why the 2011 Ford Fiesta is a financially sound decision for potential car buyers in his article, “Ford Fiesta: The Must Buy Car of 2010.”  For first time car buyers, those wanting a B-size vehicle and anyone else interested in a financial observation of the 2011 Ford Fiesta, review this article.

We end this week’s review with a question, is the Ford Fiesta Movement a social media experiment or just a sponsored buzz machine?  Let us know what you think.
