digital content strategy, social media marketing, and seo expertise
Tonight while watching a movie on FX, I saw a commercial for Ford Fusion. In the commercial, they quoted comments by Yahoo Autos users. They didn’t refer to the users by name, but they did put their comments in quotes.
I don’t watch a bunch of TV. Is this use of site comments on commercials a common practice now?

I don’t watch much TV, either, so I dunno. But like you, it seems intriguing. An easy way to astroturf, surely. But also a new twist on user testimonial.
