Ragu social media: Leaving a bad taste
Targeted dads by spamming dad bloggers and pointing them to an insulting video

Ragu social media: Leaving a bad taste
Response from the blogosphere:“Now that social media is a checkbox service offered by agencies and run by the junior associates as part of a much larger campaign and the only part of social that gets done is the pushing out of meaningless link spam, I’d like to offer that I think Ragu has no idea that you exist, let alone any sense of your cooking skills…Their content, my friend, does not rule.”
“As the person in my household who does all of the shopping and all of the cooking I took offense to this video. Implying that dads can only cook the simple things and Ragu is somehow going to help make that easier. Give me a break!

Honesty is the only policy
“Successful copywriters, brand managers, and marketers understand that the world has changed thanks to communications and technological advancements like Twitter, social networking, online video, and more. Brands that stretch the truth are called out faster than ever and word of a brand’s dishonesty will spread faster and farther than you can imagine.”

ConAgra/Ketchum PR – What were they thinking
Attempted to convince foodie bloggers a frozen meal was actually prepared by a chef George Duran (Ultimate Cake Off)
Food Mayhem:“The cheese tasted cheap and like a lot of fat was added…What good P.R. teams do not do is lie to build attendance. Lying to media makes it that much harder for legitimate P.R. teams to achieve their goals. Build trust, not facades.”
Mom Confessionals:“Our entire meal was a SHAM! We were unwilling participants in a bait-and-switch for Marie Callender’s new frozen three cheese lasagna…”
04/11/2023AMA Portland Talk27
Trust requires effort
“Honesty is expected. Trust is engaging and intimate. It needs to be earned…Trust is something else altogether. It is one of the most important values of a brand and it requires real effort from corporations. It is what you would expect from a friend.”
-- Mark Gobe, Author of “Emotional Branding”

Seven question to help you find your WHY
Who are you (really)? Why do you do what you do? What is your passion? What makes you unique? Why do people want to be a part of your
community/buy your products? How do you inspire others? Why will people remember you? (think Steve Jobs)
Note: Literally ignore your product when working through these questions
