Yes, I think you are stumbling into an arena marketers don’t like to discuss – failures. I too went back and read all of the Tweets from the #LRNY campaign (someone I work with told me it was a success so I had to find out what the campaign really did) and all I could find were the paid Twitter users using the same or very similar Tweet postings that did not inspire additional conversation. Most of the non-paid discussion came from marketing people linking to the AdAge article and others complaining about how disingenuous this campaign is. Anyway, excellent blog post. Thanks for your Investigative Social Journalism.

Two thoughts:

1. I agree.

2. I’d say “I hate to say I told you so, but…” but I don’t actually hate to say I told you so. But nobody asked me.

Dear Mr Smith,

You, on the other hand, appear to be an employee of the WPP group, owners of the agency responsible for the Land Rover campaign. Note: It is actually quite easy to trace the origination of comments by simply using the “whois” function that wordpress very kindly provide. Suggest you take more steps to cover you tracks in future.

I may be a hack, and this blog may be a dump – but I am interested to know what actually transpired – specifically the claim that the video was posted to YouTube by a ‘consumer’ who happened to get into the reveal. If you could shed some light on this that would be most useful.

You have done no research and have no grasp on what actually transpired. You’re a hack, wake-up and make some sense. No one reads this dump of a blog any way.
