Wheat Thins' problem is, if anything, over-familiarity. The reverse of the awareness problem. It's available everywhere and it's been around forever. But there is a lot of love for the brand. How do we know this? Because we found it flowing like a torrent on Twitter. While coming up with ideas for Wheat Thins we had the idea of searching Twitter to see what, if anything the Twits were saying about Wheat Thins. We were stunned to find hundreds of unprovoked declarations of undying love for the brand. Some were just slavish "I love Wheat Thins so much i would die for them" . Some were more witty. Some were just odd.
As anyone who tweets regularly knows, the one thing you DON'T expect is for your random tossed-off utterances to have any consequences. That's the ONE THING you can be certain of. Until now that is!
We selected a random selection of pro-Wheat Thins tweets and slyly tracked down the Tweeters. We then arrived in a van, A TEAM style, and confronted them with their tweets. We thanked them and gave them a gift based on their particular tweet and left basically. Leaving stunned tweeters in our wake. As you can imagine it was enormous fun to shoot. And in case you're wondering, we usually had the assistance of a facebook friend or otherwise contacted family member to help us set up our marks. We're always amazed at how easy it is to set up people for pranks. Don't trust your loved ones! So go ahead and tweet, post, blog, upload or text about Wheat Thins...we dare you.
