- Look at various case studies, McDonalds, BP Oil SpillA McDonald’s Twitter promotion was hijacked by customers, who spread their horror stories of the fast food giant across the social networking site. The promotional hashtag #McDstories, launched as part of a campaign for paid-for tweets to appear at the top of search results, spectacularly backfired as users used it to document their alleged horror stories of the Golden Arches.Opponents accused McDonalds of making customers vomit, serving pig meat from gestation crates and serving burgers containing a fingernail. One fierce decrier claimed he would rather eat his own faceces than visit McDonald’s.An initial hashtag #MeetTheFarmers, promoting the coorporation’s guarantee of fresh produce, concentrated on wholesome stories about farmers.http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/01/24/mcdonalds-mcdstories-twitter-campaign-fails-_n_1226811.html http://www.businessonrails.co.uk/2010/09/top-pr-mistakes/
