Vodka brand organizes a man hunt on Shaggy

by Steven 12. October 2010 11:33

New Zealand vodka brand "42 Below" is helping reggae pop star Shaggy celebrate his 42nd birthday in Australia, with a geo-tagged man hunt.

For two days, Shaggy will be touring in Sydney. He plans to visit a large set of bars, restaurants and typical tourist attractions. Every time he arrives at his new location, he will check in through FourSquare and Places (Facebook). The first fifteen fans who find hem and wish him a "Happy 42 Below" win a ticket to his birthday party. The party is taking place in a small trendy club with a limited set of people there.

The fun thing about this campaign is the interaction between online and offline activation. People actually need to move around to track Shaggy down by using hints and tips on social media.

In his book, Steven Van Belleghem clearly describes how the relationship between brand and consumer has changed, and how that relationship could be revived through 'dialogue' between both parties. He uses several case studies to explain how to enter into that dialogue. It is a must read for those who recognize the limitations of traditional advertising, and for everyone who is eager to understand what makes the new consumer tick.
