Imagine my surprise to find out Vodaphone posts fake secuity video showing that their store was broken into. This marketing ploy of course backfired. Didn't anyone in Senior Management say:
'You want to Fake and Post and Publish that we where Robbed as a marketing ploy!? What That is Special Olympic Country and Western Retarded You ARE FIRED Get the Hell out of my office!'
Sadly they went ahead from News 3 NZ VodaPhone is VodaFail as Marketing Stunt Flops:
Vodafone has admitted faking a break in at its Queen Street retail store to promote... something.
Last night, the company uploaded bogus security footage to YouTube and tweeted to its followers: "regret to advise the ... launch will be delayed. Major security breach. The shipment ... has been stolen".
Today, sceptical Vodafone fans began questioning the theft claim on the company's Facebook page, noting the security camera footage had a suspiciously high frame rate, odd horizontal lines typical of fake 'lo-fi' videos and no time stamp.
Several commenters on Twitter mocked the whole stunt as 'Vodafail'.
