How Old Spice struck diamonds with Isaiah Mustafa at Connected Marketing Week San Francisco 2010
Byron Gordon, SEO-PR, interviews Dean McBeth, Wieden+Kennedy, about the success of their Old Spice “The man your man can smell like” YouTube advertising campaign at Connected Marketing Week 2010 in San Francisco. Dean talks about how Wieden+Kennedy measured the sentiment of the central character in the video, Isaiah Mustafa, among fans over the course of the entire video campaign. To measure the sentiment of Isaiah Mustafa’s character, Wieden+Kennedy used proprietary software called NORAD, which allowed them to pull in comments from their branded channels, and as those comments came through, and put them through this proprietary platform and allowed them to do the Q&A and edit and upload into YouTube. Then, gifts were handed out to influencers who had an existing narrative with the brand, Old Spice, this included bloggers, tweeters. Dean goes on to talk about the campaign’s use of Twitter and how effective it was in promoting the Isaiah Mustafa video. Using NORAD, the campaign architects were able to monitor the comments via Twitter of those who saw the video.
Finally, it’s the digital metrics that tell the story. With more than 1.5 billion PR impressions over the course of the campaign, becoming the #1 branded YouTube channel, and the sheer number of YouTube views (more than 130 million) to date, in a three month period, Old Spice in the body wash category, saw its sales climb 55% year over year and 107% when compared to July of 2009.
