Survey Says . . .
S’up! Matt Pekarek here. New Assistant Social Media and Marketing guy. Still very new and still trying not to forget names within 3 seconds of meeting people.
One of the nice parts of the job here is pouring through all of the archived work that’s been produced within these walls. Great names and great companies. It isn’t hard to talk about what we’ve got when there’s such a solid pedigree of past (and present and future) work. However, a couple days ago, I received an e-mail from our resident fashion maven and professional social butterfly Sarah Edwards.
The subject was “Family Feud”.
I was intrigued.
It turns out that our own Tom Jacobsen, Design Director and all-around really nice guy, was in a couple of episodes of Family Feud in 1992. Somehow, these episodes got uploaded to our internal server and have made the rounds. Apparently, there is growing consensus that all of the great early 90’s hair and smack talk from Ray Combs is deserving of a larger audience. So, we’re going to try something over the next few weeks.
Every day, we’re going tweet out a question from those two episodes. Tweet back with the special hastag, and if you get the top answer, you’ll win that day (and, hey, if you’ve seen it already, no fair cheat tweeting – or “Cheeting”). The person who wins the most days gets a special prize with no monetary value whatsoever. It’ll be good, but wholly worthless.
To top it all off, after the contest we’ll upload the edited episodes to our Vimeo channel. We’ll also be super nice and include some INCREDIBLE vintage commercials. The early 90s was the age of Nirvana and Alice in Chains, but it was also the age of teased perms, shoulder pads, and pastel colors. Consider yourself warned.
So, the contest begins Monday, January 23. If you haven’t already, start following @pixelfarm.
See you on the twitterversethingy.
Matt
