BP’s CEO Robert Dudley has Okayed the use the BPCares websites to continue its online PR campaign.
This decision was unanimously agreed upon in conjunction with the BPAMA at their recently concluded meeting. The BPAMA marketers were assured of a deeper partnership by CEO Bob Dudley during a one-on-one with the marketers. Mr. Dudley pointed out to the members that they will not be abandoned; rather… they will receive the full support from BP’s marketing machine to crush the competitors like Shell and Chevron.
BP will use a bevy of various BPCares websites (said the Marketing V.P) to target specific markets in the US and around the world; “We will crush Shell and Chevron”. The domains that BP will use are as follows:
BPCares.com
BPCares.net
BPCares.org
BPCares.info
BPCares.us
BPCares.biz
BP will collaborate with the BPAMA with regards to the execution of specific websites. The websites will be up soon and some of the websites will target the Southern States that suffered heavily from the oil spill.
