We’re heading into the dog days of summer and many parents are thinking about Back-to-School time. So apparently are retailers with Back-to-School merchandize.
Candies’ new back-to-school commercial featuring Britney Spears appeared on Facebook and was promoted on Twitter. It will only be seen on TV on MTV on Monday – four days after the social-media debut.
“Last year, cutting-edge back-to-school marketing for the pop culture-driven brand was all about luring young girls to the Candies.com website. This year, back-to-school marketing is all about driving discussion in online social-media communities,” says Dari Marder, chief marketing officer at Iconix Brand Group, which owns Candie’s.
How are you driving discussion in social media this year?
