What Does The Brand Of Cigarettes You Smoke Say About You?
10 Comments | Posted by Brand McNaut in Brand Management
I was just wondering what – if any – cultural meanings were attached to brands / flavors of cigarettes among smokers. I smoke Marlboro Milds, and I’ve sort of gotten the vibes that this brand has certain stigmas attached to it. Just curious.

Does Any One Know What A Depolluition Fault Is?
2 Comments | Posted by Brand McNaut in Brand Management
My dad bought a brand new, top of the range citroen c4 picasso and we have had the car for 2 years now and its a brilliant 7 seater. But recently the engine management light came on and the car physically told us (information on the instrument panel) that it was a depollution fault. This means that the filter in the exhaust which stops a load of black smoke coming out of the back wasn’t workingproperlyy. Fine my dad took the car to a main citroen dealer and they said it was a fuse box problem. Citroen gave us a courtesy car (citroen C3) and we had the car for 4 weeks because Citroen had to order the part from france.
We got the C4 Picasso back and me and my dad went for a ride in the car and the engine management light came back on and the car told us again that it was a depollution fault.
We need to know why the car keeps doing this….

Do You Know Where I Can Find A Tattoo Shop That Does Branding? I Live In Ma So Closer The Better…?
4 Comments | Posted by Brand McNaut in Brand Management
Where in MA do you live? Lucky’s in Northampton, MA is seriously the best shop I’ve ever been to for both tats and piercings. They are continually voted best in the Valley, have highly qualified artists, and are extremely clean! I’ve had some complicated work done (a permenant corset) and am beyond pleased with the results since such work is considered for “play” and not meant to last more than a few days. I’ve had mine for 3 years now…the staff at Lucky’s in phenomenal. I’ve never personally been branded but know some folks who have visited Lucky’s for the process and were equally satisfied.
