Sprint Unlimited Love Billboard

Sprint in USA has created an integrated advertising campaign for the launch of the HTC EVO 4G LTE phone on their network.

Then with the help of local experts the billboard re-tweeted locations of where these things of love could be discovered in New York City. 😎

Mercedes-Benz Tweet Race

In February this year four two-person teams left four cities: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Tampa Bay, to goto Dallas, Texas in a custom-designed Mercedes-Benz car that was fuelled by Twitter. Of course the cars were not physically running on tweets, but virtually they were: the reason for Mercedes-Benz saying that the race was “Tweet-Fueled” was because each of the four teams had to get the support of their home cities to drum up enough support on Twitter to get them to the finish line in Dallas.

In the end the campaign had almost 30,000 active participants with over 72,000 Facebook Fans and 77,000 Twitter Followers who generated over 150,000+ tweets to power the cars. The campaign videos generated about 2 million views, while the twitter reach pushed over the 25 million mark.
