SHIP MY PANTS
Ship My Pants,” it knew it was taking a risk. “Kmart is known as a family brand … and this is not a family commercial,”
Adriana Llames Kogelis, vice-president of Sears Holdings Digital Marketing Division told a branding conference in
June.
But it was a calculated risk. Instead of starting with a mass audience, Kmart targeted a core audience through digital
first. In the initial 24 hours of the campaign, online sentiment reports were being filed up to the CEO-level every two
hours. By closely monitoring the social media reaction the brand progressively amplified the engagement, seeding it
in social media and using targeted ad buys including TrueView, YouTube ads that people choose to watch, to reach a
defined, relevant audience. The brand expanded its online targeting from late-night show fans to more traditional
Kmart fans. Within weeks, the spot spawned a sequel and, armed with the knowledge they had a hit, expanded from
online-only to also include TV.
Now closing in on 20 million YouTube views, “Ship My Pants” is only one in a series of recent successes that highlight
the importance of media planning in engagement, and the power of nimble media, ads that people choose and what
happens when brands give themselves the time and ability to react to consumer response
