We’re all about promotion here at ZimmComm New Media and the promotional efforts by EPIC to reach out to the public seemed to be working pretty well this week in Kansas City. Here’s Indy car driver Jeff Simmons doing a live break on AM 610 radio during the pump promotion they ran yesterday. 2007 Kansas Lottery Indy 300 Photo Album
Surprise Eldon Reception
We had a surprise reception for Eldon White last night. Kyle Bauer, KFRM, was outside the door for some reason and supposed to let Eldon in when he stopped by the president’s suite. The problem was the key he had didn’t work. So all of the sudden there was violent pounding on the door which we definitely weren’t expecting. Then …
The Armadillo Whisperer
I’m really not sure if Bob Brunker, J. L. Farmakis, is praying or just what but you’re welcome to speculate in the comments. He couldn’t afford to pay me enough not to post this. We had armadillo races in the NAMA Connection Point and Bob was a racer. He lost by the way if I remember right. The think I …
Heading Out to Golf
Here’s the golf gang heading out to their tee-off earlier today. This is the great thing about YouTube. Take a short video clip, upload it and within a short period of time you’re available to be seen by the world wide web.
On YouTube We’re Live on the Radio
I told you we had fun in the Y-100 studio this morning. Talking with the Bear & Charli. This is Charli in the middle with Michael Peterson (left) and BJ Schumacher (right). I shot a video clip while they were in one live segment and got it uploaded to YouTube this afternoon. I’m using a new camera and had to …
Ethanol Car Leaving The Pits
At the moment it’s cool inside the overflow media tent which where I got assigned to. My little spot is right in front on the end of the table. It was the last place open when I got here yesterday. You can’t escape the word ethanol here as the logo is everywhere and it’s on the “suggested stories” list handed …
Largest Combine in North America
This is one big combine and it was on display at the Commodity Classic last week. I really didn’t get much done in the way of video but Cindy got motivated and thought that something this big spinning on a pedestal was worth a minute of YouTube’s time. So here’s what you’ve got. A minute of: The largest combine in …
Shuttle Bus Video
All of the shuttle buses that are carrying people around from hotel to Convention Center are sponsored by BASF. I think they’ve done this before but it’s a great idea. The buses have video monitors and to keep people entertained they can watch a video that was put together by BASF. I’m getting a copy of it so you can …
Green Mean Pulling Machine
I don’t know if you’ve had the chance to experience a tractor pull, much less one that’s indoors. One of the interesting aspects of it is the fact that the exhaust has to be routed through a tube called the “pipe.” They claimed that this was a new and improved pipe but right before I left it broke and let’s …
Syngenta Booth Tour
I mentioned the Syngenta planter boxes that Mack Estes tends in his greenhouse prior to the show here in Louisville. Today growers got to look them over and see the comparison results of different Syngenta products on corn, soybeans, tobacco and wheat. The person who knows all about it is Sarah Gehant who devotes a lot of her time to …
