Superman smokes?
Supercool Creative challenged me to get 500 people to RT in their blog post: Your superhero is smoking? In it William Chamberlain wrote:
If Supercool Creative gets 500 tweets telling us the logo is no good we’ll change it… on our business cards, letterhead, websites, social networking sites… everything.
Why? I wrote to them and said:
“Your superhero… is smoking? That’s not really cool.”
So, the challenge is to have 500 unique accounts RT:
@SupercoolAgency #LoseTheCig
Will we reach 500 re-tweets (RT)? Yes.
Will you be a part of it? That’s up to you. Hurry! RT before all the spaces are filled!
If you RT “@SupercoolAgency #LoseTheCig” I will add your website to the spreadsheet listed below, be sure to @ me (@garyploski) with your website after you tweet the needed information. If you like, please leave a comment below with your website.
I’ve been told that this is the 1st Twitter anti-smoking campaign by a number of people. The 1st! Will you be a part of the 500 that made the cig disappear? (updated to include this sentence 5/13)
This is as much about you as it is about the challenge! Let’s get this done.
(I will add links to everyone’s user name before the end of day on the 23rd.)
