The sidewalks of New York are always filled with interesting postings, odd imagery and, yes, ads. Bucky Turco spotted one of those “I’ve lost my cat” type postings on a street pole which turned out to be a promotion for Sci Fi’s new show, Triangle. The posting shows a picture of a sock with the headline “Lost” and provides tear off tags with a link to nothingstayslostforever.com, a promotional site where visitors can enter a sweepstakes to win a home theater system, a television and an Xbox 360. Actual “lost socks” with the logo were placed in various laundromats too. Cunning created and executed the promotion.
Turco didn’t like the Xbox tie in but we think the over all promotion is intriguing enough to warrant notice and create awareness of the show. Only time and Nielsen will answer that question.
