    K-COMM Adventure at NASCAR :.





    		 Sinan Kanatsiz Hits the Pit at the California Speedway with Jimmie Johnson, Nick Lachey and Adam Roseman. "We had such a blast, I love it when I find myself working and playing at the same time. Our adventure in Fontana was a combination of that," says Kanatsiz.

    K-COMM has a client who is considering an endorsement deal with NASCAR. In this race, Jimmie Johnson finished in 2nd place. The following week, Johnson let it ride in Las Vegas -- With a $30,000 bonus tucked inside his pocket, he headed to the casino to celebrate his latest victory.

    "If he can run the tables the same way he's running the Nextel Cup series, he might just break the bank," says Kanatsiz. Following the victory, the group headed out for a night on the town.

    Johnson ended the Roush Racing stranglehold at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, spoiling what could have been a banner day for hometown boys Kurt and Kyle Busch by beating them both to win the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400. More

    We Thought You Should Know:.
    A Few of the Latest Trends and Stats in PR and E-Marketing

    As part of our commitment to keeping our clients on the cutting edge of the industry's latest trends, all of us here at K-Comm continuously monitor and educate ourselves on what is happening in the worlds of public relations and Internet marketing. We wanted to share some of the latest industry trends and statistics that help guide our strategy development and decisions as this business continues to change and evolve:
  • Contrary to popular opinion, the web's epicenter is not San Francisco, Tokyo, Washington D.C., Seattle or London ... it's everywhere. We now have over 427M (Dataquest & Nua) people using the web and it's truly become a global medium/marketing venue/information highway.
  • Splash pages are still increasing in popularity, with an estimated 18% of web sites today incorporating them.
  • Opt-in e-mail continues to grow in popularity and to reflect the web's ability to handle rich media content. The HTML format is rapidly becoming standard in many e-mail campaigns and we are starting to see streaming audio and video plug in components and even integrated voice mail, as just announced last month by YesMail.
  • Newsletters have become mainstream ways to communicate with customers, generate revenue via ad inserts and drive a brand into the marketplace.
