Sealy "After Glow" Spot Reaches One Million Views

Monday, April 11, 2011

TRINITY, N.C. (April 11, 2011) – Sealy® (NYSE: ZZ), North America’s No. 1 mattress brand, is celebrating a milestone in the launch of the Next Generation Sealy Posturepedic® line and Whatever You Do In Bed, Sealy Supports It™ marketing campaign  – one million You Tube views of its much-talked about “Afterglow” television spot.

 

The playful campaign, which kicked off in February, was a first among mattress manufacturers not only for its provocative content, but also for its aggressive digital outreach including a free mobile app inspired by the fortune cookie game where one adds the words “in bed” to the end of a fortune. In just two months, the “In Bed ä Tagger” has been downloaded more than 80,000 times and even hit the top 20 free app list allowing countless consumers to transform everyday objects, moments and photos into the ultimate fortune cookie joke.

 

“Hitting one million views, combined with the success of the app, is testament of our commitment to bring innovation in the digital marketing space,” said Jodi Allen, chief marketing officer at Sealy. “We are thrilled to reach such an achievement so early in our campaign and look forward to exploring new ways to engage with consumers – both online and offline.”
