Here is a really good example of how a marketing department that pays attention to what the 'web' is saying can create a bit of clever buzz on top of a generalized viral video.
1st step: find related viral video of random annoying hockey fan that kicks in bathroom column:

2nd step: respond to said video with a clever/terrifying video of your mascot fixing said column:

While Deadspin, in its typically sarcastic fashion, is poking fun at every aspect of these two silly videos, I think Bruins hockey comes out on top with the extra (cheap) advertising.

That is really funny. What a great way to handle the incident.
ReplyDeleteI am just curious to see how the Bruins found this video. Could the first video have been staged? hmmm...
