Engagement

What you’re doing on Facebook needs to be tightly integrated with your brand.

In this conversation, I speak with Jennifer Jackson Luth, Senior Manager of North American Corporate Affairs at Wrigley, about a Facebook application for Orbit gum that captures and amplifies fan brand engagement.

An online tool pulls users unique numerical Facebook data to create artistic representations of their Facebook life… on a pack of gum. Once designs are generated, fans have the ability to enter it and campaign for votes for a chance to see their pack on store shelves.

Yes, it’s cool creative. As impressive is how this contest is part of a continuum of cross-platform marketing programs, all revolving around the Orbit brand. Luth offers frank responses to my questions about internal buy-in, success metrics and other issues that haunt many marketers.
