In an effort to promote their snack and interact with the consumers who just can’t live without them, Wheat Thins is pitting 49ers and Ravens fans against one another on Twitter.
Taking customer engagement to the next (creepy) level: This pizza chain follows its Twitter followers back — by stalking them in real life.
Aldo Israel came up with a clever way of getting people to engage with their brand on Twitter and Instagram while also creating quite the scene.
When Brands Get Snarky.
Bodyform, for those not living in the UK, is a feminine hygiene company with a sense of humor. Earlier this month, they got a facebook post from Richard Neil complaining about how he’s “been lied to” about “how at this wonderful time of the month that the female gets to enjoy so many things” like Mountain bike riding, skydiving, etc. He then goes on to complain that his adult experience is that none of this is true and he feels personally betrayed.
Somewhat amusing sure, but 88,000 likes later, Bodyform decided it warranted a video response:
If Facebook had a “love” button, we’d have clicked it. But it doesn’t. So we’ve made you a video instead. Unfortunately Bodyform doesn’t have a CEO. But if it did she’d be called Caroline Williams. And she’d say this.
While the original comment was funny, the subsequent video is pretty hilarious. Pay attention other companies: this is social media done right.
Very cool campaign that plays off the hashtag #firstworldproblems in order to raise awareness about serious problems happening in developing countries every day.
