Major Melon Bottle Count

 

Major Melon Bottle Count

Mountain Dew

Social

For the release of its new life-changing Major Melon flavor, Mountain Dew changed someone’s life on Super Bowl Sunday. Whoever counted all 243 bottles of MTN Dew Major Melon in our commercial and tweeted us first won $1,000,000. My partner and I focused on rolling out the campaign on social. The world tweeted and we reacted, winning the #1 digital share of voice at the Super Bowl.

Reaction Gifs

Each participant had three tries to enter the contest. Through reaction gifs, we let them know how they were doing.

Can you count all 243 bottles? I couldn’t, so I wrote the tweets instead.
