Apr 1st, 2011 | By admin | Category: Marketing, Social MediaVery nice April Fool gag on LinkedIn today (1/4/2011). Not over the top, it’s witty and tied strongly to the proposition. Really lovely use of the device. This is what appeared on the home page and here is the result page for the links – LinkedIn April Fool Gag 2011
To see it done really badly – take a look at Land Rover’s full page ad from The Times. There self-levelling tax disc holder is neither funny nor smart. They have obviously thrown money at it and you get the sense that they all found it very amusing – but it misses for me. See more about the Land Rover Self-Levelling Tax Disc Holder.
Their, their. I didn’t think it was really bad, actually thought it quite funny.
I guess I’m a bit jaundiced about these big budget automotive “jokes”. Not the worst ever, but maybe shows just how good LinkedIn execution really is.
