KitKat - Jesus // PR Campaign

KITKAT JESUS


In march 2009 there where 3 Jesus sightings in quick succession:
in a cushion, on Google Earth, and in a meteorite.
We spotted a fantastic Have a break, have a KitKat opportunity here.
One day before Easter, I sent an email to the two largest Dutch news sites.
And wrote, with a non existing person from Amsterdam as sender,
that he discovered the face of Jesus in his KitKat, after taking a bite,
and attached 2 photos as proof. One of them published the story immediately.
Then it spread like wildfire. Within four days, KitKat Jesus was on more than 150k sites.
