A good example of quality marketing management is the release of Toyota's online marketing videos used to launch the Sienna Minivan. Deemed the 'Swagger Wagon' these videos captured the hearts of millions as the Sienna family promoted the vehicle with catchy hip-hop rap songs.

In addition to publishing Swagger Wagon videos on YouTube, Toyota ramped up their online marketing strategy by creating ToyotaSwaggerWagon.com which offers free ringtones and MP3 files.
