Execution
Puppies, a classic pick up trick, guaranteed to make a girl smile. Knowing this, two guys decide to test which breed attracts the most girls. They attach the Sony Ericsson Cybershot to puppies’ collars. The puppy with the most smiles per hour wins.We seeded a trailer promoting this experiment on mobile/tech-sites and viral video sites. Search optimization and seeded by Go Viral, the trailer led to puppypullingpower.wordpress.com, a blog where the full experiment was released over 6 short webisodes.While there, guys could discover the Sony Ericsson Cybershot and the girl’s photos taken from the puppies’ perspective.
Outcome
