Rogue Gypsies with Donnie K.

Struck has launched a “social-viral” campaign to advertise the new Gypsy from Provo Craft. It is a handheld device for creating designs for the popular craft cutting tool Cricut.

In a fictitious scenario, Provo Craft sent out 13 of their new Gypsy devices to be tested by crafters across the country. To Provo Craft’s dismay, only 3 were returned, and Donnie K the bounty hunter was contracted to track down the other 10. Donnie K proves to be no match for the “crafter typesâ€? he’s tracking, his failures are plastered all over Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere. Viral videos recount how Beth, Rhonda, Nancy and others make him look like an amateur. Basically, in an effort to create hype around the new scrapbooking product – the Gypsy – Struck also created the epic failure known as Donnie K. …“I wouldn’t have caught ‘er. She was wearing a wind suit.â€? …We know Donnie. We know.

The campaign includes a website, videos on YouTube, a Facebook profile, Twitter posts, a blog, and a gallery of photos on Flickr.

One of my favorite agencies in LA did a nice little number with Paul Rand. Thought you’d all enjoy.

Struck designs interactive viral site for Alltel

Wednesday, 8 August 2007 @ 10:32

Struck launched a large, viral, interactive website as part of a new ad campaign for Alltel entitled “The Man Cave.”

They describe the site and the campaign on their site with the following:

Down with Alltel! Perhaps not surprisingly for the country’s fifth-largest national wireless service provider, Alltel is not shy about taking on its competitors directly. The sales guys (personifications of their top four competitors) have assembled in their beloved ManCave, where they are conspiring against Chad, the good-looking, well-mannered, all-around-do-goodery guy that represents Alltel.

The Man Cave rooms include a “man-brary,� with an assortment of books and magazines, game of darts and hidden entrance to a phone lab, where the sales guys dissect Alltel gear. Its kitchen contains a refrigerator with movable word poetry and a bikini-clad poster girl, Candy Graham, who comes to life, while the “man-lounge� is a den with a telescope to spy on Chad in a nearby Alltel store.

The Web site alone contains more than 80 videos and 50 links, some of which let visitors unlock content like exclusive discounts on certain purchases made on Alltel’s main Web site. The den also has an interactive bulletin board where Web site visitors can post their names and comments.

David Habben contributed to the project, adding his amazing illustrations to a set of game cards. He also pointed out some press that Struck got about the campaign from the New York Times.

Post to group through Google Wave

Thursday, 15 October 2009 @ 16:35

I have created a Google Group for us so that you may “wave” to everyone in the group via Google Wave. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a pretty URL or email address because they were already used and Google has a lame rule that they can only be used once, even if the previous instance has been deleted (which was by me, which makes it even more lame).

Visit the Google Group home page for more information. Join the group and then add the address “utah-graphic-arists@googlegroups.com” to your Google Contacts list. You can then add the group address to new waves and everyone will have access to it.

Note that Wave will bark that that user does not have a valid Wave account when you try to add it. Ignore that and simply strike the return key and the address will be added to your contact list.
