From One Tweet to Another

OK- so here is a little story-

Through a relationship with Central Maine Medical Center, we have a client,  Patrick Dempsey. Yes THE Patrick Dempsey.  Dr. Mc Dreamy. He has a new ‘Event’ he is promoting in October-  see  the Dempsey Challenge website for details.

While looking on Twitter to see if there has been any tweets related to Patrick Dempsey- I ran across a reporter in Florida  (Christi  Knight at WPFB  @Twochix1) who was going to interview Patrick regarding his  Car Race in Florida.

She tweeted “Does anyone have a question that they would like to ask Patrick?”

Jumping on an opportunity and a little experiment- I suggested she ask about his “Other Race”, the Dempsey Challenge!

, WPBF.com and Mc Dreamy

And what do you think happened?
She asked the question – and here is the TV Clip so you can see it for yourself!

Now, that in itself is NO BIG DEAL- considering anyone can do it- the DEAL is that there wouldn’t have been the opportunity to get the Dempsey Challenge mentioned in this interview as well as Patrick to have a chance to plug it in the clip if it had not been for Twitter!

Thanks Christi!

Thank you, Patrick!

  1. Great story, Joe… THIS is the PERFECT story to share with people who so often ask, “How is Twitter good for my business?”

    I’m bookmarking this entry and will be sharing it often.

  2. You eally need someone to check your grammar and spelling, because there are a lot of mistakes that reflect very poorly on Sephone. I know that if I were going to have you design &/or develop a web site, I’d want to be sure it presented my company in the best possible light — with no mistakes.
