What is the moral of this news story? GM’s promotion backfired or what?
Then again, viral marketing can be screwed up in English too…
As part of a cross promotion with the NBC TV show The Apprentice, GM launches a contest to promote its Chevy Tahoe SUV. At Chevyapprentice.com, viewers are given video and music clips with which to create their own 30-second commercials.
Among the new Tahoe ads that soon proliferate across the Web are ones with taglines like “Yesterday’s technology today” and “Global warming isn’t a pretty SUV ad – it’s a frightening reality.”
