Acura/Rubin Postaer/Hot on the Spot Direct Success Story About Acura Acura is the performance luxury division of the American Honda Motor Company. Acura automobiles are rooted in performance, and this orientation extends to the company's involvement in the greater community. From the breadth of its sponsorship of sporting events and community functions, Acura respects and nurtures performance in all its forms. About Rubin Postaer Rubin Postaer is an independent, privately owned full-service advertising agency. The agency represents a fusion of the highest levels of strategic discipline and stewardship with innovative, belief-changing creative work. The agency has spearheaded category-breaking campaigns for VH1, California Pizza Kitchen, Acura, Gardenburger, Bugle Boy Jeans, Honda, WebTV, Morningstar and ampm, among others. The Need Acura sponsors an annual, nationwide, multi-city Summer Music Festival for some of the most well known artists of our time including Santana, Paul Simon, The Neville Brothers, John Fogerty and Brian Wilson. In addition, Acura sponsors the most prominent stage at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Acura hosts a backstage VIP party for customers, dealers and prospective clients at its sponsorship events. Rubin Postaer Direct (RPD), hired to design and implement Acura’s successful branding campaign, needed to have all the VIP parties professionally catered. For the multi-city Summer Music Festival, hiring and negotiating contracts with separate catering companies in different locations would have been labor-intensive and expensive. In addition it would have been difficult to coordinate linens, decorations and recipes from city to city to ensure that all events would meet with equal success. Finally, most of the catering companies RPD contacted wanted to prepare the food in an off site kitchen and transport it to the parties. RPD wanted the food cooked on site to guarantee freshness for Acura’s important marketing parties. The Solution RPD first hired HOTS to cater Acura’s VIP party at Jazzfest. They were so pleased with HOTS food, freshly cooked on site, as well as HOTS ability to execute every detail in a professional manner, that they hired HOTS to cater all the events in all the cities for the Summer Music Festival tour with Paul Simon. Based on the success of this first tour, Acura has continued to work with HOTS as its sole-caterer for the Jazzfest and Summer Music Festival VIP events. HOTS is now entering its fourth year with Rubin Postaer Direct and Acura. The Benefits With HOTS mobile catering solution, companies like Acura who sponsor events in multiple locations across the country can work with a single catering company. This saves significant time and money that would otherwise be spent shopping around for different catering companies, receiving and sorting through multiple proposals and negotiating various contracts. In addition, HOTS works with the most talented chefs to prepare the highest quality cuisine. HOTS’ on site kitchen capabilities ensure the food is fresh for each event. “HOTS is easy to work with and is always one step ahead of the game in presenting a fun and classy party. Timothy Howard and his team take care of every detail, enabling us to focus our energy and attention on party attendees rather than worry about the execution of the event itself. Every year we receive widespread compliments from party-goers on the decorations and food that HOTS presents.” —Christie Ware, Account Supervisor, RPD
