Old Spice just held the first-ever live-streamed board meeting. And, as always with the brand, things got weird very quickly.
Old Spice is always the pioneer. Live video isn’t exactly a novelty anymore, but the brand still found a way to do something that had never been done before: host a live-streamed board meeting on their YouTube channel.
Even if things got weird very quickly – in true Old Spice style – the brand stunt created by Wieden + Kennedy was your one chance to take control over the brand’s marketing plans.
Old Spice brought in social media influencer Toddy Smith to spice things up. Toddy was there to talk about the power of influencer in today’s marketing mix.
It’s sad that you missed the live show, but the good news is that this was only the first of five planned sessions that will run through the fall. There are no plans and no agenda for these meetings. But if they are anything as funny (and weird) as this first edition, it will be worth your time.
