#FordNAIAS Day 2: F-150, Mustang, Behind the Blue Oval Room and so much more!

January 28, 2014 by Wendy S

Our second day at #FordNAIAS  started very, very early, Monday morning.  We were finished breakfast and on the bus heading to Joe Louis Arena by 6:45 am. 

Why so early?

Ford Press Conference and reveal of the new 2015 Ford F-150

The Ford Press Conference was at 8:10 am.  Due to a broken down vehicle on the highway, it was a mad dash to the arena, but we arrived just in time to see this:

After the Press Conference all of the bloggers had access to Ford’s Behind the Blue Oval room and the full Auto Show!

 Upon entering “Behind the Blue Oval”, there were different displays showcasing some of the research and ideas behind the Ford vehicles.

Talking with CEO Alan Mulally and COO Mark Fields

Ford really gave the bloggers a unique experience!

We go to talk with www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HdlFm_c5TQ.  I taped the discussion, and even got to ask a question myself!

During our conversation with Mark Fields, COO, he expressed how important bloggers and social media influencers are to Ford and getting Ford’s message out as well as hearing feed back from the customers.
