I wish I had... even in the wrong way. 😂

Oh, the infamous "viral for the wrong reasons" campaign - it's like sending a Snapchat to the wrong person, you only realize the blunder after hitting send!

I once worked on a campaign that went viral because of a typo in the main message. It was embarrassing, but it also taught us to triple-check everything before launching.

I had a campaign go viral for the wrong reasons due to a poorly chosen image that sparked controversy. It was a challenging situation, but it helped us refine our content approval process.

I once launched a campaign that unintentionally offended a key demographic. The backlash was significant, but it led to a much-needed overhaul of our creative review process.

Not personally, but I remember when the Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney partnership went viral in a bad way. It's a good reminder to carefully consider potential risks and backlash before launching edgy campaigns, even with good intentions. Better to avoid unnecessarily alienating a big chunk of your customer base.
