Thanks for sphinning this, Roger. Its a fascinating question as to how in your face should your Surprise Marketing be.
I like the "morning after" thinking: its personal, its easy to relate to.Thats maybe also the problem; marketing often comes from outside a company. Theres often no touch or feeling with the company, the brand, the values. Its hard for someone in an office to come up with workable ideas. I think this is where you get "American Apparel" kind of ads from.Dave Winer did a great piece, Online Advertising is Now Dead, where he wrote; "Remember that perfectly targeted advertisement is just information" (my emphasis).Its less whizz-bang surprise marketing but its effective: being there with the right information at the right time.
