Watch the spot

I reviewed this viral success back in July of last year. "[T]his is it!" I wrote. "If any buzz-backed project is going to do the dollars, it’s this one."

A year later, this is a bona-fide TV rollout. The spot has been re-done to include new demos and host David Jones, who is always a welcome addition. (Here's the original spot.) The offer has also been revised to a BOGO plus the Pocket Hose Dura-Rib as a bonus instead of the original microfiber mitt.

Now we wait and see how this campaign does at retail. If successful all the way through, we may be looking at a new DRTV model for the future.

Spray Perfect

Speaking of the new viral-to-DR success model, this campaign is another case study. It started online, generated a ton of buzz and then turned into a DRTV competition that I reviewed back in March.

Apparently Telebrands has dropped their version and Top Dog now has this one all to itself.
