Dean of Feedback calls in from the road to elaborate on three crucial tips on how those with internships with advertising and public relations firms can use social media to: 1) Listen (following trends, topics, conferences), 2) Shadow (act like a social media ninja with those you admire), and 3) Become a Persona (showing engagement).

In the 1980’s, Shadoe Stevens was retained to devise an advertising strategy and branding campaign for a 14 store electronics chain known as the Federated Group. He created and played a character named Fred Rated in a series of commercials that were a mix of Saturday Night Live and Monty Python. Over a period of six years, he and a small team of artists: Chris Culverhouse, Chuck Cirino, Michael Hill, Dave Nichols, and Ed Freeman, created over 1,200 different commercials.
After the first weekend of the campaign, sales increased 500%. In four years, the group grew from 14 local stores to 78 superstores in 5 states. The success of the Federated advertising campaign was extraordinary. It was the first regional advertising campaign ever to have received a 2 page spread in Time magazine.
Fred Rated’s huge exposure resulted in Shadoe’s invitation to join Hollywood Squares in 1987 and to host American Top 40 the next year.
