At 6:35 PM, Mike Templeton said...: I saw the link to this video on Twitter today and I love it! It's a perfect example of taking social content that already exists and then capitalizing on it.

Wheat Thins has the staff, budget, and equipment to make any kind of commercial, but the simple act of delivering a pallet of Wheat Thins to an unsuspecting fan and capturing her reaction is so much more powerful than just another spot.

Congrats to them on coming up with this and just "going for it." I imagine we'll see similar sorts of stunts from other brands soon. What's that they say about imitation?
