We needed something to replace the groundhog.
The giant whiteboard in our creative suite was outdated. Punxsutawney Phil had seen his shadow, Groundhog Day was over, and we needed something to replace the cartoon groundhog who had been staring at us for a couple weeks. The groundhog drawing, itself just seasonal filler, was a fleeting replacement of something else, an easy way to eliminate some white space and live up to our reputation as quirky creative types.
So we decided to make a little chart explaining social media through donuts. We put our minds together and then our creative director, Nuno Gomes, scribbled it out. Doug Ray, a multimedia producer here, snapped a photo with Instagram and posted it on Facebook and Twitter. We had a beer, a good laugh, and went home for the weekend.
Since then, nearly 100,000 people have ‘liked’ it on Facebook, and thousands of people have Tweeted about it. We weren’t trying to make anything cute or funny.
We just needed something to replace the groundhog.
Besides totally blowing our minds, the whole thing has been a good reminder about some best practices in online earned media execution.
