Finding a man prepared to sing karaoke non-stop for 30-plus
hours was a defining moment in the campaign to put a 'racket in a
packet' for Poppets, in a marathon attempt to re-energise the noisy
chocolate sweets.
Our national Poppets Pop Pickers Karaoke Roadshow made a lot of
noise (literally) as it launched with the madcap World Record
breaking attempt to set the longest karaoke marathon. Then, an
X-Factor style UK touring event, with its own YouTube channel,
captured crooners up and down the country allowing viewers to vote
for their favorite performer.
The result? A huge hit, £1 million worth of coverage with
hits on Radio 1, local TV stations and most of the major national
newspapers plus engagement with some 20 million consumers…. and a
World Record.
