Old Spice Man Social Media Campaign

Successful social media campaigns are fun. They get the viewers to immediately want their best friend to see what they just saw and laugh as hard as they just laughed. When developing a campaign and once you have an idea you think is good, you MUST first ask yourself the following questions before proceeding with campaign development. If the answer is yes to the below questions, you may proceed.

  1. Would I bring this campaign up at a dry dinner to get the table laughing?
  2. Would I mention this campaign at a networking happy hour as a conversation starter to sound intelligent and funny?
  3. Would I look cool passing this story along to my buddies?

The key point is this a remembered, talked about and tweeted social media campaign will be one that combines creativity, a clear message and one that makes a splash.

Looking for examples of successful campaigns? According to Forbes, the best-ever social media campaigns are the Old Spice Guy and the Burger King Subservient Chicken.

  1. I’m excited to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I love the art of photography. I’ve got my website up but it’s nothing to boast about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the day posting my best pictures. anyhow just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use. SPG
