Mitch Ferrence – Face Of Dell’s New MP3

Creative advertisement ideas and marketing through social media enabled Dell to successfully launch and sell its DJ Ditty. The campaign’s media mix was led by Mitch Ferrence where he launched world’s first air guitar, lip sync, and dance instructional videos for Dell’s MP3 player DJ Ditty. It also included viral clips, viral trailers, live appearances and regular communication with fans at Myspace.com. The promotion was a huge hit since it recorded a 75% higher clickthrough rate.

THE INSIGHT: After researching the target audience, we created an antihero who would stand out in sharp contrast to the rest of the design-centric, self-conscious digital music player market. Case Study
