As "Official sponsor and exclusive automotive partner" for wildly popular entertainment group Cirque du Soleil, Infiniti Automotive group is effectively reaching a very broad range of possible customers. Their luxury vehicles are well known in the auto sphere, but by partnering with Cirque du Soleil, Infiniti is hoping to draw even more attention to its latest models, in a far showier space than, well, the showroom. They are debuting their all-new 7 passenger crossover with the performance group, and live streaming the event from Cirque du Soleil's Quebec headquarters.

While it's true that most of us cannot afford to partner our automotive company with a world-renowned traveling performance troupe, there are a number of other options at our fingertips to help us reach out to our community in new and meaningful ways. The article below, from Business Week, has the full story on the Infiniti/Cirque du Soleil team-up.
