The Hunt Is On!

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Gunn|Jerkens recently launched a special campaign for our client, Newhall Land and their master-planned community of Valencia, California. In an effort to engage the Valencia Facebook fans and showcase some of the community amenities, we asked users to participate in the Awesome Scavenger Hunt!

Running for a total of eight weeks, the hunt presents a new clue each week, which is posted to the Valencia Facebook page. And each clue has fans and residents visiting some of the places Valencia is most known for.

Fans were encouraged to hone their Facebook skills and get ready to snap some pics for their chance to win. Prizes range from Starbucks, iTunes, American Express and Westfield Mall gift cards to the grand prize of the winning fan’s choice: either a spa day or a special date night for two.

This campaign is a win-win for both the Facebook fans and the client. The fans, of course, get their chance to win some awesome prizes and the client receives targeted user-generated content promoting their community from the best marketers they have – their residents!

To stay up to date on all the new and innovative happenings at Gunn|Jerkens, check back often, follow us on Twitter (@GunnJerkens) and “LIKE” us on Facebook.

It was announced today that Virgin America airlines is partnering with the Awkward Family Photos blog for a promotion where users can win some plane tickets and anyone who submits or votes will receive 33% off a family booking to their newest destination, Orlando, FL (my hometown!).

There’s also a chance for a California resident to win tickets for Virgin America’s launch party flight (and possibly meet Richard Branson!). Maybe someone here at G/J has something awkward to submit?

I love the unique partnership for this campaign! It got me thinking of other potential partnerships between businesses and these types of humor blogs:

Anyone other ideas?

Images of Long Beach

If you’re in Long Beach this weekend, make sure that you’re carrying your camera so you can take a picture of this great city that G/J calls home. You might win a cash prize in a photo contest happening this weekend.

Long Beach resident Justin Rudd and the nonprofit Community Action Team (CAT) are sponsoring Say Cheese Long Beach, an event that invites photographers of all experience levels to take pictures of any subject, person or event within the city limits of Long Beach. The photos must be shot between noon on Saturday, 8/28 and noon on Sunday, 8/29. You can find all of the rules and submission details here.

Queen Mary, Belmont Shore, Downtown Long Beach, Gunn/Jerkens’ lobby…no matter where you go this weekend, make sure you snap a pic to help create the Long Beach family album.
