Well, I know that you’re all dying to know what the response has been to my Diet Coke woes #yeahright. Well, I’ll tell you anyway. It’s been pretty flippin’ amazing, really. I got an email from Wieden+Kennedy. Here’s what it said:
Thanks for sharing and making us aware of this. I’m really sorry for the confusion and frustration.
Yep, that’s it. Aside from the Dears and the Bests. I emailed Diet Coke at their website, but you know those emails are probably going right to Wieden+Kennedy, too. There’s no phone number there.
I’ve contacted a marketing not-really acquaintance in Portland. Maybe he’s tight with the W+K crew, but that’s probably wishful thinking.
In the interim, I reviewed them on Google Maps. Did you know you could do that? Anyone could. Anyone at all.
Hmmmm.
If you might be so moved to show some support, you could go do this:
1) Go to www.google.com/maps (that will open in a new window so you can refer back here)
2) Search for Wieden+Kennedy, Portland, OR
3) Click on the big blue link to Wieden+Kennedy on the left.
4) Write a review. Tell the truth, of course. No lying necessary. Say they make mistakes, and they don’t correct them. Simple as that.
Or you could leave a comment below. Or RT the tweet whereby you found this? Many, many options that might make them take a little more notice.
Many thanks!
