youtube.com— Dearest Kevin, I know you've been under the weather lately and I made a little video to help cheer you up. Stay well, my brainiac friend! Sincerestly, The Old Spice Man
Jul 13, 2010View in Crawl 4
this is single-handedly the best PR stunt i have ever come across. A get well soon to Kevin, tweet replies to celebrities and general users, the AMA over at Reddit..
seriously mad props to he guys over at Weiden + Kennedy. The work they've done on this campaign is superb and whilst blatant in its efforts to shift products off shelves, retains a refreshing honesty and transparent approach.
Isiah, as always, we are in awe you handsome, manly bastard!
Hello Digg. Look at your homepage, now back to me. Now back to your homepage. Now back to me. Sadly, it isn't Reddit. But if you start using Reddit, you could be like me. Vote down, now vote back up. Where are you? You're on a site, with Reddit, and what your Reddit could look like. What's on your screen? Back at me–I have it: Two Orangered envelopes from that link you liked. Look again, the envelopes are now Karma. Anything is possible on Reddit. Vote up, I'm on a narwhal.
sslanchi - who do you think Digg cares more about, Bill Clinton answering a bunch of lame questions about oil and the war, or the Old Spice Guy making funny ass videos to select commenters? Know your audience bro.
Hahaha, not only does reddit have Stephen Colbert and Wil Wheaton as users on the site, but we now have The Old Spice Man answering questions! Oh but Digg has a prettier interface, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Looks like both sites have its fair share of retards.
man the internet's so f**king petty.
both sites serve a purpose.
the internet? It's big enough for everybody.
Feeling superior and loyal to a brand is f**king stupid.
f**king ****s. Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
What kind of retard comment is that? I don't give a flying f**k about this stupid war for 12 years old, but I can't help but wonder why this comment was dugg by 11 people. Wow. This is why Redditors laugh at Digg members.
Boom goes the dynamite! Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Kudos http://rancho-cucamonga-new-homes.com
Nice try. but that message isn't relayed with ASCII, and the numbers aren't segmented into groups of 8 (byte), or ever 4. They're segmented into groups of 1, where each '1' referrs to him smelling manly, and each '0' refers to a sympathetic projection of manliness onto kevin rose.
Come now. When was the last time you saw an 8 bit computer? Computers are 32 bit nowadays, if not 64. Why would you believe the old spice man would possibly be trying to communicate in binary using an improper number of bits? The fact that they are an odd number of bits means that either the entire thing should be interpreted as one number (1 +4 +8 +256 +1024 +2048 +8192 +65536 = 77069), or, far more likely, I'm right.

"Riiiight....don't idolize anyone with skills or brains or who has accomplished anything great......pick the half dressed actor who sells deodorant... "
Fixed that for you
Who sells deodorant better than anyone else on the planet.
Because they just created this account with no friends and thusly not a power user.
What needs to happen is for people trying to submit this to digg it up.
What will happen is people trying to submit this want all the glory and will submit a blogspam page that just has one sentence and an embedded youtube video.
It is actually a bigger viral marketing effort involving a bunch of social media. reddit, twitter, even youtube comments.
I like it. They aren't trying to be tricky and hide the fact they are marketing. They are also actively responding to people. They literally filmed a bunch responses and pushed them out shortly after people commented the questions.
No kidding, it is solid all around. They aren't overreaching, they aren't underreaching, they aren't overdoing it, they aren't taking themselves too seriously; I'm pretty sure this is the best advertising campaign I've seen in the last 27 years of my life, and if they don't mess it up at some point, it may go down as the premiere example of marketing done right in advertising curricula at universities the world over. And that's a pretty awesome thing.
I don't get it. Just because some shareholders get to line their pockets with $$$ because a marketing company decided to leverage the Internets, you guys are flocking to this like sheep?
Bless. Saying Tesla invented binary is like saying the guy (I know it wasn't one guy, shut up) who came up with Latin was therefore responsible for the invention of sound.
Congratulations to the advertisers who finally figured out how to get savvy internet users to clamor to be sold s**t to. The death of the internet starts here.
And movies, tv shows, books, etc aren't about making money on sales? Get over yourself. If it's entertaining it's entertaining. I pay money to watch and read what I enjoy.

You’re in a basement, by yourself smelling like old Cheetos. What’s in your hand? It's a mouse that you use to navigate to that site you like. Look again, the site is now porn. Anything is possible when you believe in commercials. I’m in an office."
Okay, honestly. I think the adverts are great and tapping into Digg, Reddit and co is a very smart move after the reaction the adverts got. Am I buying Old Spice? No.

GAH! Thought I had an original idea. Didn't see that. Still - he should take a pic for digg now.

For those you who dont know AMA means he is answering questions. Its basically digg dialog

except you can ask and get questions in the comments rather than ask and hope your question is picked and then later filmed.

He's been replying to the questions with youtube videos, if you didn't know. ;) So it's kind of both.

It's not basically digg dialog, it's in real time and the answerer picks the questions.

Nice advertisement Digg+OldSpice.
centranJul 13, 2010
It is actually a bigger viral marketing effort involving a bunch of social media. reddit, twitter, even youtube comments.
I like it. They aren't trying to be tricky and hide the fact they are marketing. They are also actively responding to people. They literally filmed a bunch responses and pushed them out shortly after people commented the questions.
skye16Jul 13, 2010
No kidding, it is solid all around. They aren't overreaching, they aren't underreaching, they aren't overdoing it, they aren't taking themselves too seriously; I'm pretty sure this is the best advertising campaign I've seen in the last 27 years of my life, and if they don't mess it up at some point, it may go down as the premiere example of marketing done right in advertising curricula at universities the world over. And that's a pretty awesome thing.

I don't get it. Just because some shareholders get to line their pockets with $$$ because a marketing company decided to leverage the Internets, you guys are flocking to this like sheep?

"Hello, Redditors, look out the window, now back at your screen, now out the window, now back at your screen. Sadly, real life isn't on screen, but if you stopped paying attention to viral marketing campaigns, you could separate the two. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a basement, by yourself smelling like old Cheetos. What’s in your hand? It's a mouse that you use to navigate to that site you like. Look again, the site is now porn. Anything is possible when you believe in commercials. I’m in an office."
