I love stuff like this

This video was forwarded to me by my father yesterday. The e-mail seems to have originated with a friend of his from his trade group, i.e. someone my father's age.



Who isn't going to smile after watching that video? And they totally tied it in to T-Mobile, because they understood that people seeing a random dance party were going to take out their phones and take a picture. T-Modile went to a lot of trouble to make this an international campaign, hiding cameras in order to create a commercial and Youtube video.

This is similar to a local campaign that occurred in Chicago. Meijer is apparently a midwest version of Target. I'd never heard of them until I read a blog about their headless horseman campaign in Chicago.



Meijer wasn't concerned with making a commercial, so they didn't use a lot of cameras to capture reactions. They were concerned with capturing phone numbers and raising awareness. I think they succeeded in that goal.
