GoDaddy Leverages The Streisand Effect For All It's Worth
from the all-about-the-markerting-effort dept
The
Streisand Effect is what happens when someone decides they want to ban or censor something, and that very attempt to make something goes away, makes it much, much bigger than ever before. In the past, we've had plenty of stories about companies who misunderstand this to their own detriment. However, it appears that at least one company (and possibly a few more) understand it fully. Witness the ridiculous amount of attention GoDaddy is receiving for
having their second Super Bowl spot canceled by a concerned NFL, even though the same exact ad had already been shown. GoDaddy's CEO immediately
blogged about how the ad was pulled at the last second, and now the company is getting much more publicity than they could have possibly expected from the $2.4 million ad buy. We did note, a few months ago, that the FCC's crackdown on what they viewed as "indecency" would be
used by marketers as an advertising tool and this is just the latest example. Ah, yes, the laws of
unintended consequences at work.
