  • 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review
    1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review The year was 1935 when the Jaguar brand first leapt out of the factory gates. Founded in 1922 as the Swallow Sidecar Company by William Lyons and William Walmsley, both were motorcycle enthusiasts and the company manufactured motorcycle sidecars and automobile bodies. Walmsley was rather happy with the company’s modest success and saw little point in taking risks by expanding the firm. He chose to spend more and more time plus company money on making parts for his model railway instead. Lyons bought him out with a public stock offering and became the sole Managing Director in 1935. The company was then renamed to S.S. Cars Limited. After Walmsley had left, the first car to bear the Jaguar name was the SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon released in September 1935. The 2.5l Saloon was one of the most distinctive and beautiful cars of the pre-war era, with its sleek, low-slung design. It needed a new name to reflect these qualities, one that summed up its feline grace and elegance with such a finely-tuned balance of power and agility. The big cat was chosen, and the SS Jaguar perfectly justified that analogy. A matching open-top two-seater called the SS Jaguar 100 (named 100 to represent the theoretical top speed of 100mph) with a 3.5 litre engine was also available. www.themodelcarcritic.com | 1 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1935 SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon www.themodelcarcritic.com | 2 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1936 SS Jaguar 100 On 23rd March 1945, the shareholders took the initiative to rename the company to Jaguar Cars Limited due to the notoriety of the SS of Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

This was of great concern for many reasons, but one reason in particular was the possibility that sub quality repairs made by independent shops could lead to negative consumer perceptions of the overall quality of the brand. ! Agencies were asked to address this issue in their pitch to Jaguar for the opportunity to become the agency of record for the global account. The agency that ended up winning the account leveraged Infegy Atlas, a social media analytics platform, to compare buyers from around the world to gain unique insights about why people choose to go to dealerships or independent mechanics for service. ! A Brief History of Jaguar In 1922, Sir William Lyons and William Walmsley founded the Swallow Sidecar Company, soon after referred to as SS Cars Ltd. The company originally manufactured motorcycle sidecars before beginning development on automobiles. Following the end of World War II the company changed their name to Jaguar to avoid negative associations of the SS initials with the German SS.

  • Branding of Business
    Updated 8th July 2004 Geoff Stuart The Branding of Business Tracing the extraordinary history of the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs, Companies, Corporations and Brands. INTRODUCTION Michael, my son started pointing out the window as we were driving and saying “ ee ai, ee ai”, and repeating the sounds. He was less than a year old. At first I couldn’t work it out. “ Ee ai”, what was that? There he was sitting in the back seat of the car in his baby seat, saying “ ee ai”, not “Dad”, “Daddy”, “Da, Da ”, or even “Mummy”! It wasn’t just a gurgle, it was a definite word and he was pointing! And then I got it! There was a McDonalds sign, and he was pointing right at it! He had connected the Nursery Rhyme “Old McDonald had a Farm, ee ai, ee ai, oh “ to McDonalds Restaurants! His very first word was McDonalds, all be it said in Baby talk! Luckily his vocabulary has expanded a lot since then, but his very first word was a brand! As a father I felt cheated that he was saying “McDonalds” before I got a mention, but as a Marketing person, I took it as a sign that brands could have enormous cut through, not just as words but as images as well. So, what was it that made him connect to “McDonalds”? Was it the ads on TV, the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald or McDonalds colours or combinations of all of these or simply the connection with the word McDonalds from the Nursery Rhyme? Whatever it was, the brand image was very powerful.
