168 Media Creative was coined because the pronunciation of 168 in Chinese is yuk lo bat which sounds like yuk lo fat which means on the road to prosperity. Media Creative was added to the equiation and was taken from Kreativmedia, which was the original name of my website. Plus, if you multiply 24 and 7 you get 168, which is our committment to all the people we work with. We will make your business available for everyone in the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Here are some other reasons why we (may have) chose to name our business after a number: - God created the world in exactly 168 hours. (Not that we have a God complex) - Our heart beats over 100,000 times daily to move blood 168 million miles around our body. - If you search for the number 168 on Google you get 37,800,000 responses. - The comic Daredevil #168 was the first appearance of Elektra! - You can buy the Strange Tales comic #168 for around $10 - SDRAM computer chips have 168 pins Regarding the Alpha Romeo 168: With a potential sales crisis looming and their reputation in jeopardy, Alfa's Hong Kong-savvy sales representatives made an unprecedented move and quickly cabled Fiat management for permission to substitute the much-maligned 164 emblem with one now marked 168. The number 168 is perhaps the luckiest in all of Hong Kong as it is similar to the word for prosperity and wealth (a single license plate bearing the number 8 was once auctioned off to a private owner for more than one million U.S. dollars). Therefore, what was originally one of the worst rear insignias imaginable instantly became one of the best: 168 means "the more you go the more prosperous you'll be." Thus the 164, or 168, was rescued from certain "death" and continues to be one of Alfa Romeo's most popular automobiles. |
