#RobFordCoal 


A holiday agency-promo intended for clients to
playfully add a piece of coal to the naughty mayor's stocking, while also
help kids in need have a nice Christmas.

However, within hours of going live, it went viral and by campaign’s end, 
won new business. In addition to clients getting a kick out of it. 


Recognized by Ad Age, Creativity Editor’s Pick, Marketing, among others. 

RobFordCoal.com:


Results:
- Within an hour of launching the site, 50,000 pieces of coal were added.
- By the end of the first day, over 100,000.
- By the fourth day, the coal counter broke a million.
- By the end of the campaign, it had over 1.2 million lumps of coal.
- This was all achieved organically.


New Business:
During the campaign, I reached out to Iceberg Vodka's marketing manager on
LinkedIn with a simple invite to join my network.
The brand had recently been negatively associated with the mayor for being his drink of choice,
so I thought that was enough to start a conversation. My invite included the site robfordcoal.com
and our interest in working with them. This led to us winning their business.
