Although we are an advertising agency, we are humans too. So on this page we posted things that show our human side. Some are videos while others are images but all of them are interesting or funny. So take a quick little break from work and enjoy the lighter side.
Porsche 911 Carrera Engine
Sound is especially important in sports cars since they should be giving us entertainment, as well as transport. Here are some sounds from the Porsche 911 Carrera.

Some advertisements are annoying. I get it, apply head-on directly to the forehead. However, there are a lot of very clever ads that are not only wise and funny but also affective. Here is David Griner’s list of the top 25 ads.

In the Dog House
Yeah, been there before. You know when something is very funny because it’s very true? This is one of those moments.

The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
The guy that made Super Size Me made a movie about marketing and the effect it has on the media industry today.
Jumping Rope with a Car
It seems like every time I find an absolutely ridiculous video on the internet I think to myself, “Well, now I’ve seen everything.” Then something like this comes along. Here we have two guys who take it upon themselves to make a car jump rope, or in this case a chain. These videos are pretty funny and very awesome, besides when is the next time you’re going to see hydraulics being used in a recess activity.
Off Road Car Trick
Here is a common tactic for anything off road and I though I would share. Also it looks kinda cool.
Take a small bottle of propane with you, those tiny green or blue ones. When the tires bead slips and you get a flat you press the propane tank against the valve stem filling the tire up slightly with propane. Add fire around the bead and the resulting explosion acts as a vacuum sucking in air while pushing the tire back on to the rim.
BOC 2011 Concert Series: Pictures
Here are some pictures from the Concert Series we worked with this past summer. I must say though that it was great working with everyone in the the Central New Jersey Volvo Dealer Group.

BOC 2011 Concert Series a.k.a the “See Them Before They Leave” Tour
At the beginning of this summer, I realized that many of my old favorite bands, like Paul McCartney, Deep Purple and Peter Frampton, were going to retire soon. As a result, I made it my goal to create my own little music tour tittled the “See Them Before They Left” tour. I thought it would be perfect considering the deal we brokered with PNC Preforming Arts Center and Volvo (read it about here: http://bocpartners.com/2011/07/27/central-nj-volvo-dealer-group-sponsors-2011-pnc-concert-series-in-deal-brokered-by-boc-partners/)
But then, my kids also wanted to go see newer artists during the summer and I went with them. With the addition of these newer musical acts, my “See Them Before They Left” tour became the “BOC 2011 Concert Series”. Here is some of the footage and artists:
U2 at Giants Stadium
Peter Frampton
Janet Jackson
Deep Purple

A Life in Cars
While recently talking to one of my summer interns about one of my current cars, the 2006 MB s430 AMG Sport 4matic, I took a trip down memory lane. I started thinking about each and every car that I had every owned in my entire driving life. It seemed to me that each car had one real defining story or moment and I thought it would be fun to share it here:
1968 Ford Falcon
my uncle gave me my first driving lesson I was 8… I worked the steering wheel with my younger cousin underneath me working the gas and brake while my uncle called out instructions on a one lane dirt tree line ½ mile driveway to some beach house in the Hampton
1970 Mercedes Benz 220
my fathers first MB; to this day he doesn’t know that I would take it out for a spin around the block
1976 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Station Wagon
