To make Manufacturing Sexy (appeal to more people).

Maintenance Women

Below are my comments in reply to an excellent topic and video Karin Lindner started on our LinkedIn Industrial Discussion Group, I would like to share with you.

Below are two proven examples where Engineering are made "Sexy" (interesting to the younger crowd, not nothing to do with sex actually:>)


Ex 1: with 9000+ comments, this video using multiple methods to make engineering cool and attract the young, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjGrHBpfqCo

(Elements of social media, action, video, gaming done in quality way. Plays on the already popular.)

Ex 2: Music video, cost less than full blown movie like Ironman, so more could be made at same cost of one hit movie, reaching more people. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0DxmthvkKU

(Elements of social media, music, video, cool technology. Needs more marketing though, so share this video with others. :>)

Especially those in school, we need more presence on TV and more manufacturers evolved in grade school on up.

To all the men in this industry, please note that I don't mean half naked women with making manufacturing sexy! I guess some men will need support to get their head out of the gutter!
