March Madness and the Infiniti JX

March 14, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

If you are a College Basketball fan, like we are here at Grubbs Infiniti, you will have noticed by now that Infiniti is one of the main sponsors of the 2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament – affectionately known as “March Madness”.

During the 2012 NCAA Basketball tournament you will see several ads featuring the all new, seven passenger, Infiniti JX.
Infiniti has been a sponsor of the NCAA Basketball tournament for several years now and we at Grubbs Infiniti are excited each year when March Madness rolls around.

If you  miss the new Infiniti JX commercials while you are getting a snack (or forwarding through the commercials) we have pulled together the spots you will be seeing over the next few weeks during March Madness:

Here are a few articles that provide some additional detail about Infiniti’s sponsorship of March Madness:

Inspiring: 7 Texas Teams in NCAA Tournament

March 15, 2010 by · 2 Comments

The NCAA Division I Tournament starts this week and Infiniti, the official vehicle of the NCAA Tournament, will take center stage (or is it half court) during the next few weeks of March Madness.

Infiniti has launched an integrated media campaign centered around the NCAA Division I Tournament in addition to the SEC (South Eastern Conference) and Big 10 Conferences. The first phase was launched in January to promote Infiniti’s G line of vehicles. This next chapter focuses on Infiniti’s flagship M line, the new model of which goes on sale this month. But both campaigns are also an effort to reposition the brand.

At Grubbs Infiniti we have been “inspired” by the marketing campaign and partnership developed between Infiniti and the NCAA. At Grubbs Infiniti we have been working to integrate the components of the National Infiniti campaign with our local efforts and have enjoyed doing so.

Now that the selections have been made we are very excited and inspired by the inclusion of 7 Texas teams in the NCAA Tournament this year.  We are going to be rooting each one on as they try to make it into the Sweet Sixteen, Elite 8, Final Four and maybe even a National Championship.  I was at the Final Four when my Alma Mater, George Mason, made it into the Final Four and I know what a thrill that was.  Grubbs Infiniti wishes all of the teams that made it into the tournament the best and especially those 7 teams from Texas that made it.  Everything is bigger and better in Texas!!!

Texas Teams in NCAA Tournament
Baylor (3 Seed)
Houston (13 Seed)
Sam Houston State (14 Seed)
Texas A&M (5 Seed)
University of North Texas (15 Seed)
University of Texas (8 Seed)
University of Texas – El Paso (UTEP) (12 Seed)

On Facebook we have developed a custom tab that highlights Infiniti’s sponsorship of the “Bracket Challenge” and the opportunity for a lucky winner to win a 2011 Infiniti M.
We are also going to be posting information about our local teams that are in the tournament such as the University of North Texas “Mean Green” and our regional teams such as the University of Texas “Longhorns”. Other Texas teams will no doubt make it into the tournament and we will find out on “Selection Sunday” when the brackets are set.

Infiniti Encouraging Dealer Participation
Infiniti is encouraging the employees of dealerships nationwide to participate in the Bracket Challenge and has set up an internal contest that each dealership can play. I was disappointed to learn that I can’t win the 2011 Infiniti M but at least I can beat my co-workers .

At Grubbs Infiniti we had our monthly meeting a few days ago where the “Bracket Challenge” was announced and the announcement was greeted with some good smack talking and predictions on who is going to have the best bracket.

We will let you know how our brackets are going. Hope you play along with the Infiniti Bracket Challenge.

Grubbs Infiniti at Ft. Worth Auto Show

March 11, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Grubbs Infiniti will be showcasing the 2011 Infiniti M at the Ft. Worth Auto Show which runs March 11 – March 14th.

The 2011 Infiniti M is the first of many of the M line to be styled based on the Infiniti Essence Concept car that turned heads at the Chicago and Geneva  Auto Shows earlier this year. Here is an excerpt from one of the recent reviews from Auto Blog.

Autoblog.com
“From the outside, there’s little question Infiniti has stepped up the M’s game in a major way. Drawing swoopy inspiration from the Essence concept, the new M is lower, wider and just a smidgen longer. Infiniti hammered home the point that the new car is the first Infiniti product to sport Essence-derived lines, but by no means will it be the last. They showed us a few pictures of the new QX56, and while we sadly can’t share them with you, please take our word for it that the new QX is world’s better looking than the frankly obscene old version.”

Brackets
It’s become a company wide tradition at many companies to have a “March Madness Pool” or some type of inner company competition.  Whether it’s sanctioned by the company or under the table even those that have no interest in basketball get consumed by filling out their brackets and seeing how they do versus their friends and co-workers.

Grand Prize – 2011 Infiniti M
This year the Grand Prize in the CBS Sports Bracket contest will be a 2011 Infiniti M valued at approximately $58,000.  The winner will be randomly chosen from someone whose bracket is in the top 10% of all the brackets. So  the odds of winning are dictated by the number of brackets that are filled out and your ability to pick the right teams.

About the 2011 Infiniti M

“Following in the footsteps of the Lexus GS and on the heels of Mercedes-Benz’s introduction of its eighth-generation E-Class, Infiniti is readying the release of the third-gen, 2011 Infiniti M, a sedan that promises to compare favorably — at least on paper — with both.”
