First, work hard to generate some buzz and groundswell.
Then, air commercials as if you’re shocked by the early “spontaneous” buzz: “Gosh really, our little brand? How nice of everyone to notice. We really weren’t expecting this, are we blushing?” ... "

Hello Franz,
Thanks for noticing what I wrote about the Crest launch. Just to clarify, I'm just a curious observer. I'm not one of the bloggers P&G is targeting. They're looking for Mommy bloggers.
Cheers,
Tom
Tom,
Good clarification. I knew they were targeting mums, but did not know the details of the targeting. Nice blog!
Franz
