From the time Minolta introduced its new logo and look, it fought its way from a weak number four in sales to a very strong number two. Now it was time for a bold move to take over the number one position in the market. To do this, they had the right product... the first complete working autofocus SLR SYSTEM ever! It was an exciting product with over 300 new patents covering its revolutionary technology. And it was necessary to make sure the market and the dealer network were fully aware of this new technology and the sales opportunity it represented.

We needed a show that could be used at a press conference in New York City. And that show needed to be presented to the sales force at a National Sales Meeting. AND that show needed to be the centerpiece of a 10 city, US and Canada road tour to present the new camera to large number of dealers. It needed to inform and motivate the various audiences.

Produced, staged, and toured by Minolta's internal production group, this show premiered at a press conference in New York City, followed the next day presented to a national sales meeting for the Minolta sales force. When the sales meeting was finished, the show and several key executives immediately went on tour to seven US and three Canadian cities. Dealer audiences of 500 - 1000 at each location were energized by the new product, and immediately did exactly what was expected, took Minolta to #1 in imported camera sales in the US.

The show then went on to win a Gold Cindy with the Association of Visual Communicators, a Silver Hugo at Intercom - The Industrial Film Festival, and a Bronze Medal at the New York International Film and Video Festival.
