Why Achieve When Old Spice Can Do It For You?

Is there anyone who has never googled himself to find out what might be out there about him?

When I typed James Nichols into Google, I found that tragically the first listing is not about me, but rather an English porn actor named James Nichols, which I assure you is not me.

...

Now that you have stopped shuddering at the thought of my being in porn, I'll get back to the subject at hand, which is Swaggerizeme, a new minisite from Old Spice that creates fake news and fame for registrants. You input your name and interests, upload a photo, and fake web presences are created attesting to your fame, fortune, and intelligence.







It's a nice viral idea, and evidence that Old Spice is trying to stake out territory outside of the duuuuurty zone that Axe owns lock stock and barrel. It's a good effort, and yet more evidence that P&G continues to innovate and try new things. Not all of them will yield big dividends, but I applaud their efforts and tenacity.
