Mercedes holds Twitter race for Super Bowl
Mercedes-Benz, which is advertising on the Super Bowl this year, is hoping to drive engagement with something called the “Tweet Race to the Big Game.”
Beginning 4 days before the Feb. 6 game, 4 racing teams led by 4 celebrities (Serena Williams, Rev Run, Nick Swisher and Pete Wentz) will make their way to Cowboys Stadium outside Dallas from Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Tampa in specially equipped Mercedes vehicles, competing in a series of challenges along the way.
The winner isn’t who gets there first, but who gets the most points—determined in part by which team generates the most Twitter activity (what Mercedes is calling “Tweet Fuel”) along the way.
