Energizer Bunny(R) Rolls With DUB Magazine
Leading battery maker joins forces with the authority on urban automotive lifestyles to promote its Energizer(R) e2(R) Titanium Technology(R) batteries

DUB's roots in the hip-hop and car customization cultures, combined with Energizer's commitment to high performance, longer-lasting products makes for an unexpected partnership. But together they are reaching out to those who value their own unique style -- including the "tuner" culture, which exploded onto the scene after celebrities like 50 Cent and Latrell Sprewell have spent millions of dollars customizing their rides. The collaboration supports Energizer's continuous effort to keep the music going by tapping into the trend-setting DUB lifestyle of individualism.
"Most people associate DUB with celebrities, music and customized automobiles, so they may ask why Energizer?" said Myles Kovacs, founder of DUB magazine. "In actuality though, we both focus on providing consumers with top-of-the-line products that will in one way or another, allow them to express their individuality and uniqueness."
Energizer and DUB are kicking off their partnership at the 2005 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas the week of October 31, 2005. As part of the program, consumers can enter a sweepstakes to win a tricked-out Dodge Charger, dubbed the Orange Whip, in the fall of 2006. A prototype of the custom DUB-produced Charger will debut at the SEMA Show.
In addition to the sweepstakes, consumers can view the DUB-produced Charger on the 2006 DUB Magazine Car Show and Concert Tour, which hits 14 cities nationwide, beginning in February. The partnership includes promotional support and retail-tainment events, limited edition collectible die-cast cars at retail, a custom Web site for consumers to download screen savers and other offers, and featured programming on MTV's hit show, Cribs. Selected advertising support also is being finalized for the remainder of 2006.
"We're thrilled about the DUB partnership, because it demonstrates our company's mission to find innovative ways to engage consumers," said Jeff Ziminski, vice president of marketing for Energizer. "Our focus for the e2 brand is a younger audience who lives and breathes its individualism in every aspect of their being, and the partnership makes complete sense to accomplish this goal."
