During the Superbowl blackout, Oreo tweeted this ad with the caption:

Power out? No problem.”

According to http://www.buzzfeed.com, it was “tweeted 14,000 times (and the same image on Facebook has gotten more than 20,000 likes”

Then, with the Grammys the following tweet that was sent out was:
“Time to get your dunk on”

Certainly not as many tweets (412) and it doesn’t seem to be in the Facebook feed but they have many other clever images nonetheless (see https://www.facebook.com/oreo)

The importance of these ads:

  • They are timely.
  • They are relevant.
  • They are fun.

What clever ways can you introduce fun, relevant content into your marketing mix?
