In order to win, consumers simply need to purchase a pack of Trident, and fill in the last four digits of the barcode online at Trident Unwrapped. As part of the £2.5 million marketing campaign Trident launched a ‘spontaneous’ flash mob dance on Monday April 20th in London’s Piccadilly Circus.
Hundred girls, dressed in sexy leotards, performed the famous and frequently copied “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” dance routine – in nearly perfect harmony. The video has been viewed over 300,000 times since begin this week.
The stunt was created by Pretty Green and Initials Marketing, in a bid to build awareness of and excitement for the gig.
