About the Work

In one of the closest Superbowl games in history, the New England Patriots won the 2015 Super Bowl in a nail-biting finish. Immediately after the game finished, Monster posted a congratulatory Tweet — to the wrong team. Some people didn’t get the joke and thought we’d made a mistake. But those who looked closer realized we did it on purpose; to raise awareness that Monster can help social media managers or anyone, find a better job. People were talking about it for days after the game, with some even calling it their favorite Super Bowl ad. It received over 550,000 mentions on Twitter, and Monster saw an increase of over 1500% in mentions day over day, all without any media spend.
