Oh c'mon, this is pretty funny. I applaud the creative approach, but it should have gone further to consider what would actually increase click-throughs, not just swipe-ups. It's like they executed on half an idea. Although, we ARE all talking about it...pic.twitter.com/x9LZwjkH91

For everyone that's calling this "genius" - you're a huge part of the problem. It's a scammy gimmick that will only irritate people - get this guy a huge amount of swipes but absolutely pathetic conversions - and then marketers get a bad name. Fuck this guy, seriously.

Nah, this is brilliant, seriously.

Are these. The same people. On Linkedin who type. Like this?

Yo why is this even a thing? Also the fake stories where the oh so gracious person gives someone a job.

The ones 300 ppl post like they're the first person to post it? My hands were clammy as I walked in to the interview. "You're hired," he said. "But, but why? You don't even know me." "You thanked the receptionist as you walked in. That's all I needed to see."

I cannot give either of you enough stars for both posts.

Lol. It worked. Because they did something worth talking about with the ad, you tweeted it, and you’re now showing tens of thousands of people this great deal that they have. You should become an affiliate for them

-
Hahaha. The most successful campaigns are either so subtle that they don’t look like ads or they’re weird/different/unique, and maybe a bit controversial which gets people to share the campaign like wildfire. No ads budget needed

-
Admiring that sort of deception in advertising is a hard thing for me to square with someone who has Christ prominently in their bio. I'm not trying to troll or being snide. As a business owner I'm not okay with doing that morally (and I was very much raised that way).
-
Lol it’s not deception It’s getting above the noise
-
It is quite literally a deception. It's an attempt to get people to interact with an advert when they wouldn't otherwise by pretending something is there that isn't. It's deceitful in the same way as an advert with a fake system notification or a misdirecting download button.
-
Alright man.

-
Also without knowing how many of those clicks/swipes properly engaged with the brand in a positive way, hard to say if it's effective or not
