# Auto-Reply Sports Campaigns The Puma Forever Faster Campaign Eggs on Troublemakers By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-20 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-forever-faster References: [prexamples](http://prexamples.com/2014/08/puma-foreverfaster-campaign-backfires/) & [puma](http://puma.com/foreverfaster) The [Puma](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-southeast-asia) Forever Faster campaign puts out a call to all troublemakers and of course, tons of users on the Internet were happy to cause some mischief. The campaign asks [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweetfast1) users to send out a tweet using the #foreverfaster tag, and in response, an auto-generated messaging service replies to users with a message with their name that looks like an athlete's signed autograph card. However, there were some true troublemakers that began taking advantage of the automated nature of the Forever Faster responses, and began sending out tweets from lewd usernames. Meaning that the messages automatically sent out turned out to be more troubling than inspiring, including ones like "Cocaine, couldn't do it without you," where the name of the person was swapped out for a drug. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Social Media Activation:** Opportunity for companies to engage with users on social media platforms through interactive campaigns. - **Automated Personalization:** Advancement in technology enabling brands to automatically generate personalized messages for users. - **Brand Reputation Management:** Need for businesses to monitor and respond effectively to potential reputation risks associated with automated messaging services. ### Where This Applies - **Sportswear:** Sportswear brands can leverage social media campaigns to engage with customers and promote their products. - **Digital Marketing:** Digital marketing agencies can provide services to brands for developing and executing interactive social media campaigns. - **Social Media Management:** Social media management platforms can offer tools to effectively monitor and filter automated messages to prevent reputation risks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Throwback OOO Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auto-replybreak.md) - [Vibrant Runner-Targeted Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-southeast-asia.md) - [Stylish Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-as-you-go.md) - [AI-Generated Sports Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aigenerated-campaign.md) - [Creative Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri.md) - [Creative Eerie-Themed Soccer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good.md) - [Motivational Athlete Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-you-got-this.md) - [Athlete-Backed Shoe Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awaken-your-madness.md) - [Panda-Inspired Sport Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-station.md)
