Execution

We used Buzz gangs that rode the street of San Francisco and Portland while simultaneously updating on Twitter and Facebook. We also had large yellow trucks and banners set up at events around town that urged people to take the bikes for a test run.

Strategy

Best Buy recently began selling electric bikes in two test markets. To promote this new mode of transportation, we created an E-bike gang that rode through the streets of San Francisco and Portland to get the word out. We recruited people who were very active with social media and gave them flip cameras to film the proceedings. In effect the people became the media. The gang handed out flyers and let interested people take “test zips” on the bikes.
