After launching its “BE STUPID STUPID” campaign in 2010, Diesel has created a new campaign called “Diesel Island” where those who wish to “be stupid’ can in fact do so. It’s online marketing team is calling it “lost but with nicer clothes and no polar bears.”
Here are a few highlights of the Diesel Island campaign:
- Print and outdoor campaigns showing these new immigrants exploring the new island
- Viral videos, a Facebook application and a game based on island’s everyday life, pirate radio
- Its own Wikipedia entry, updated every week as the emerging society and its rules and regulations evolve
- Diesel stores will become the official “embassies” of the island, with flags, maps and explanations of the philosophy
I especially love the copy on one of the ads “Diesel Island is the least fucked-up country in the world. But give us time.”
What do you think? Do you think it’s a good way to continue the “BE STUPID” campaign in a less controversial way?
