AdHack Blog: Olympic Brand Highlights: General Electric (GE)
don’t know about you, but I was so excited when I found out that the Robson Square Ice Rink was going to re-open. Well, we can thank General Electric for that, because of their partnership with the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games and the Province of British Columbia. Here are a few shots of the new GE Plaza’s flashy looking rink from Flickr.
GE is also a large contributor in making the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics the sustainable Games, or the “Green Games,” as so many like to call them. Here you can see an interactive map of the Olympic venues, which shows how GE is making a difference by providing sustainable products – necessary items like lighting systems, power, and fire alarms at each venue.
GE goes for advertising gold during Olympics
One of the most prominent advertisers during the Winter Olympics is hawking goods that few households will ever need: hand-held ultrasound imaging equipment or nationwide computer networks for medical records.
The prime-time television ads by GE Healthcare, the medical technologies arm of General Electric Co., show vignettes with doctors, patients and hospital technology that coincide with the national debate over health care reform.
And the political timing is hardly a coincidence, according to media and industry analysts. Since he took over as chief executive of GE Healthcare in 2008, John Dineen has made no secret that he wants to influence Washington's policies _ not least because federal spending caps on imaging reimbursements hit hard at GE's diagnostic imaging group in Waukesha, Wis., which laid off several hundred workers over the past two years.

Recent News: Warren Buffett, Stock Offering, Stock Performance, and Ratings Cut
Chasing Value: General Electric is screaming to me!
The market is bouncing around with every bit of news leaked from the Congress as well as company warnings and Federal reports. 'My pal Warren' is frequently being asked his opinion about the stock market and his 'stock answer' is that he ignores the overall market and its daily gyrations and focuses on individual investments and price (value)....
General Electric still slides on Warren Buffett backing
Shares in General Electric fell another 10 per cent yesterday as Wall Street ignored the backing Warren Buffett has given the company and braced itself for a full-scale banking crisis. On Wednesday, Mr Buffett bought $3 billion (£1.7 billion) of GE preferred shares through Berkshire Hathaway, his investment vehicle. He acquired the stock at $22.25 each. At the same time, GE, one of the world’s largest conglomerates, sold another 548 million shares at the same price to other investors. On Wall Street yesterday, GE shares were trading at $22.12, just below the fundraising offer price...
Bet on Warren Buffett, not on slogans
THERE’S only one set of people that finance firms have thrown money at more willingly than subprime borrowers in recent years and that’s ad execs. And a fat lot of good it’s done them. Even in these straitened times, they are seldom off the TV and their spots are seldom anything other than awful. At the moment there’s a particularly horrid series for E-Trade featuring a baby day trader getting freaky with his girlfriend via text message. “Bad girl,” he says and shivers. Me too. Makes me feel abused every time it’s on...
Buffett Sees the Light in GE
Some stocks are labeled bellwethers for good reason. General Electric, the huge conglomerate whose reach extends into industry, health care, media and financial services, has long been considered a barometer for the economy. These days, for better or worse, the company is emblematic of the problems roiling the financial markets overall and financial firms in particular. ..
GE Needs to Shed More Light

GE shares slide after secondary stock offering
General Electric Co. shares fell as much as 10 percent on Thursday, touching a new 5-1/2-year low, as its sale of $15 billion in new stock to investors including Warren Buffett failed to soothe Wall Street worries. GE shares have tumbled about 40 percent this year as the global credit crunch has taken a heavy toll on its hefty finance arm and the company warned that 2008 profit could drop 12 percent....

The Rewards of Olympic Hospitality
For General Electric Co., being a big Olympic sponsor isn't only about generating revenue and buffing its public image. The Fairfield, Conn., company also sees Beijing as an exotic venue for wining and dining top-performing employees and important clients. General Electric is hosting 2,000 customers and other guests from around the world in Beijing during the Games, inviting them to meals and offering tickets to Olympic events and sightseeing trips. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt and other senior executives are among those playing host, according to GE spokeswoman Deirdre Latour.
