Once You've Got It, You Get It.

FiOS customers love 100% fiber optic FiOS, but prospects don't really get what all the fuss is about. Here’s why: experiencing 100% fiber optics for yourself makes all the difference. Basically, “once you’ve got it you get it.” Don’t get it? Hear customers put it in their own words. You can even tweet them a question. If you still don’t get it, we just might surprise you in your home and demonstrate the difference. In the end, enough people “got it” to set a sales record and obliterate our KPIs.

Johnsonville Brattender Campaign

In 2013, Johnsonville cut media spending behind their famous bratwurst, but sales expectations didn't decrease with the budget. With less money to buy impressions, we needed to earn them. Insights gleaned from our social analytics led us to enlist our biggest fans to help. We mobilized them by creating a character called The Brattender. He offered shareable bits of wisdom and inspired our fans to create their own shareable content. In a year we hoped to keep brat volume flat, we managed to sell even more brats.
