We're looking forward to continuing our
experiment with reddit advertising -- In
less than a month we're seeing better
responses, statistics and
engagement from the reddit
community. We're looking forward to
making more of an investment going
forward.

And at the end of the day, we obviously hope
you end up picking Transamerica. But if you
are at least able to walk away and make a
better, informed decision, that’s really the
win, because financial literacy is so low
across the board.

We want to go towards that captive audience
and just kind of have them be a mini-focus
group in terms of what they wanna know
about financial terms and how can we help.

Within hours of topping the front page, the
story of our Nissan/Amazon partnership
showed up across more than 150 articles in
30 countries.
#SEJSummit
@BrentCsutoras
The story quickly became the #1 trending topic on
Reddit. Even Jerry Seinfeld took a break from his
“Ask Me Anything” to comment, wondering if the box
was real or a hoax? The story leaped from Reddit
and spread across the rest of the internet… The
campaign was covered in 35 countries and on 5
continents making it a story that was almost as big as
the box itself.
