bamber 128 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 In the early 1980s The Evening Post ran a marketing campaign for their classified adverts. Each evening they would insert an advert into the personals that read like a day to day diary of a young woman living in Nottingham. It was viral marketing 25 years before it was invented. But who can remember the name of the young woman? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,878 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 "She" used to post in the personal column all the places she had been to or where she was going. People used to send her messages through the paper, this went on for a few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,878 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Think she had a bit of a "snotty" attitude. Better than anyone else, some of the messages were not nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
