Why you should advertise in <strong>Autolive</strong><br />
AutoLive is the best way to keep up to date with<br />
news and views about the South African and international<br />
motor industry in all its sectors as a <strong>co</strong>nvenient<br />
e-zine delivered twice a month.<br />
■■<br />
Importantly, the <strong>co</strong>ncept has been embraced<br />
by the organised SA motor industry<br />
and the mailing list already includes the<br />
membership of:<br />
■■<br />
Retail Motor Industry organisation (RMI)<br />
■■<br />
Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA)<br />
■■<br />
National Association of Component and<br />
Allied Manufacturers (NAACAM)<br />
■■<br />
McCarthy Motor Group.<br />
■■<br />
Unitrans’ Toyota dealers<br />
This is in addition to another <strong>co</strong>mprehensive<br />
list of people operating in the industry and we are<br />
currently negotiating for further meaningful lists in<br />
the industry. The publication has been running for<br />
a year now and there has been an excellent response<br />
from the industry – including many senior executives<br />
and industry leaders.<br />
AutoLive certainly has great potential as a<br />
source of up-to-date news on this very important<br />
sector of the national e<strong>co</strong>nomy and is thus a powerful<br />
advertising medium to a target group.<br />
This means advertisers who are suppliers or<br />
service providers to all facets of the SA motor<br />
industry are seen by a focussed target market. In<br />
addition, the e-zine format cuts time in getting<br />
your message across, <strong>co</strong>mpared to a magazine,<br />
for instance.<br />

Goodyear Advances on List of America’s Most Reputable Companies<br />
Goodyear has again been re<strong>co</strong>gnized as one of<br />
America’s most reputable <strong>co</strong>mpanies by Forbes<br />
magazine.<br />
Goodyear ranked 26th on the magazine’s seventh<br />
annual ranking of <strong>co</strong>rporate reputation in the<br />
United States, up from its 38th place ranking in<br />
2011. Goodyear is the only tyre maker on the list and<br />
the highest-ranked <strong>co</strong>mpany in the automotive industry.<br />
The full list is available on www.forbes.<strong>co</strong>m.<br />
The list is based on the results of the Reputation<br />
Institute’s U.S. Reputation Pulse <strong>co</strong>nsumer survey,<br />
which was <strong>co</strong>nducted in the first quarter of 2012. The<br />
survey measures the overall trust, esteem, admiration<br />
and good feelings more than 10 000 <strong>co</strong>nsumers<br />
hold toward 150 of the <strong>co</strong>untry’s largest <strong>co</strong>mpanies.<br />
S<strong>co</strong>res are based on RI’s seven dimensions of<br />
reputation: products/services, innovation, governance,<br />
workplace, citizenship, leadership and financial<br />
performance. RI said the 2012 survey indicates<br />
that perceptions of the enterprise (workplace, governance,<br />
citizenship, financial performance and<br />
leadership) were more important than product<br />
perceptions (products/services and innovation) in<br />
driving <strong>co</strong>nsumer behaviors.<br />
“This re<strong>co</strong>gnition is particularly significant as<br />
it goes beyond the value <strong>co</strong>nsumers place on our<br />
brands and innovative products,” said Chairman<br />
Rich Kramer.<br />
“It reflects the public’s perception of the goals<br />
and shared values articulated in The Goodyear<br />
Mission that guides our associates every day. The<br />
survey shows that <strong>co</strong>nsumers <strong>co</strong>ntinue to re<strong>co</strong>gnize<br />
that the Goodyear brand stands for great citizenship<br />
in addition to great tyres.” ■
