Cracking the TIIDA-ME code
Its all over the place - Outdoor lamp signs on Sh. Zayed road, website, print and on Radio! Several people asked me those last few days .. What the hell is TIIDA?
I googled it and this is what i found - looks like a nice car!
But still, it could be a coincidence. It wasn't enough, I had to make some kind of a link.
I found out that the owner of the website is this DIC based company. It seems they did work for Infinity Middle East (part of Nissan). But again, its not a smoking gun.
So, i searched a bit more and i found an online resume of an account manager who works in that same DIC company. According to the online CV, he is handling the Nissan Middle East interactive account ... Thats too much of a coincidence.
Me thinks that Nissan is trying to create the brand attributes (young, sexy, cool, trendy, hippy, iPOD happy..etc) before revealing the brand identity itself which is NISSAN.
Good luck with that!

loool - DIC = Dubai Internet City :)
On a different note, according to the guy at the mosque, Umra is Sunna not Fard... Meaning, the widow doesn't have to do it, but she can ... because it is coming from good intentions.

I think it being about the Nissan Tiida sounds reasonable. It looks a lot like the viral marketing campagain "Colony" (www.ourcolony.net) that Microsoft have been using for the XBox 360. Each week there is puzzle to solve and the prize is some more information about the new console.
