Thanks for sphinning this, Roger. It’s a fascinating question as to how ’in your face’ should your Surprise Marketing be.

I like the "morning after" thinking: it’s personal, it’s easy to relate to.That’s maybe also the problem; marketing often comes from outside a company. There’s often no touch or feeling with the company, the brand, the values. It’s 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).It’s less whizz-bang surprise marketing but it’s effective: being there with the right information at the right time.
