Maxell Resurrects “Blow-away Guy”
Marketing Blurb remembers the day when audiophiles were easily identified by the maxwell.jpgsize of the stereo speakers. This seems quaint in a world where the new standard is invisible earbuds connected to a digital music player the size of a credit card. But to power the music of the past, okay--maybe even the music of today--you need a recording medium other than hard drives. Boomers will remember that Maxell audio tape used to be the standard. The company is still around certainly, but their product line now includes all kinds of audio and visual analog and digital media from tapes, disks, flash drives to headphones and iPod accessories. To regain some of their lost cache, Maxwell has decided to resurrect the blow-away guy from the 1970s, “a hip young man sitting in a large armchair who is so moved by the outstanding performance of Maxell music products that his hair is blown back from his head and he is practically blown out of the chair.” The character will be featured in an online game, billboard, print and other promotions. Boomers can read more from The New York Times (free registration required.) Will Gen Y and millennials grok this?  Photo Credit: Maxell
