You should check out this great stunt by Canada’s National Ballet School:
Though I am more or less done with flashmobs as the basis for PR stunts, this one merited mention.
Here’s why:
- It was on International Dance Day, April 29th, and featured students from the National Ballet School of Canada - i.e. appropriate timing.
- Though it mirrors elements of what T-mobile did in their train station dance, I like the visual.
- The stunt shows the importance of critical mass (something I have previously discussed). They had ENOUGH people – 300 – to make the visual look good. If you are trying to do a PR stunt with people, not having enough to make it visually appealing is the number one killer.
