In a shocking turn of events, a local man’s office prank has turned into a successful marketing strategy for his company.
According to sources, Bob Smith, a digital marketing executive at XYZ Corporation, was trying to liven up a boring Monday morning with a harmless prank. He decided to change the company’s website homepage to a picture of a dancing cat wearing a suit and tie, lip syncing to a popular song.
However, Bob’s prank quickly turned into a nightmare when he realized that he had accidentally made the changes to the live website instead of a test version.
“I couldn’t believe it,” said Bob. “I thought for sure I was going to get fired. But then I started getting emails and phone calls from people who had seen the website and loved it.”
To Bob’s surprise, the dancing cat video had gone viral, and the company’s website traffic had skyrocketed. The video had been shared thousands of times on social media and had even been featured on several news outlets.
“We never expected this kind of response,” said John Doe, the CEO of XYZ Corporation. “But we’re not ones to look a gift horse in the mouth. We’ve decided to run with it and make the dancing cat our new company mascot.”
The company has even gone as far as to create a line of dancing cat merchandise and has plans to feature the cat in upcoming marketing campaigns.
Bob, who was initially worried about losing his job, has now become a hero within the company. “I’m just glad I could make a positive impact,” said Bob.
In other news, the dancing cat has declined to comment on the situation as he is currently busy signing endorsement deals and creating a new line of catnip-infused energy drinks.
