Description
Ever heard of Fleets? It was Twitter’s real-time video-sharing platform (a-la Instagram Stories, SnapChat etc.), and it went defunct on August 3rd. While most brands clamor to be the first on any new social platform, SNICKERS comedically became the last brand to ever use Fleets, just before it went extinct.
August 3rd also happens to be “Grab Some Nuts” Day. To celebrate, SNICKERS began running a series of Fleets on Monday (August 2nd) promoting a sweepstakes to win boxes of free SNICKERS that would launch the following afternoon. The only issue? Fleets was deactivated a moment after the final Fleet was posted and the sweepstakes never actually went live…
Why would SNICKERS try to launch a campaign on a social platform that’s about to die? Their Social Media Manager was hungry and missed the memo.
SNICKERS quickly made up for the snafu tweeting the promo instead and offering the free boxes to 20 followers who reply in the comments.
This professional campaign titled 'Maybe you just need a Snickers' was published in United States in August, 2021. It was created for the brand: Snickers, by ad agency: BBDO. This Digital medium campaign is related to the Confectionery, Snacks industry and contains 4 media assets. It was submitted over 3 years ago.
