In 2009 CumminsNitro, a Brisbane-based advertising agency won multiple awards
across the international media landscape for their groundbreaking campaign for
Tourism Queensland: Best Job in the World. The campaign was unique in the way it harnessed traditional media advertising (positions vacant advertising) and linked this with various kinds of social media interactivity. Through inviting video applications the campaign utilised what Bruns calls “produsage” and others have called “crowdsourcing”. It also made sophisticated use of the viral connectivity that can result from online social networking. Then, once the social media success became newsworthy, the campaign also benefitted from the traditional current affairs media attention, amplifying the overall impact and effect.This campaign continues to attract attention through a blog maintained by the successful applicant.
