Social Media Kissing Contests

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The MARTINI Kisser Casting Campaign Seeks a "Kissing Specialist"

— September 20, 2011 — Lifestyle
Are you a good kisser? MARTINI wants to know. The Italian beverage brand has launched a campaign, called MARTINI Kisser Casting, to find someone with some serious lip-smacking talent.

Launched on Facebook, the MARTINI Kisser Casting campaign seeks to find someone with "stylish misbehavior" -- someone who can best epitomize the brand's motto, "Luck is an attitude." To enter, individuals must upload their own creative video onto the company's Facebook page; the top "liked" videos will be judged by a panel, with selected entries continuing to a final competition in Rome.

The prize for being so kissable? An appearance in a MARTINI commercial, 150,000 Euros and, according to the company, the chance to "kiss 10 beautiful female models." Um, does that apply to females too? Regardless, that's a pretty sweet prize pack for a "skill" most of us don't think too much about.
Trend Themes
1. User-generated Content - MARTINI's Kisser Casting campaign highlights the trend of brands leveraging user-generated content for promotional purposes.
2. Social Media Marketing - The campaign demonstrates the growing trend of utilizing social media platforms like Facebook for marketing campaigns and audience engagement.
3. Branded Contests - The MARTINI Kisser Casting campaign showcases the trend of brands hosting contests to create buzz and engage their target audience.
