One Green Bean puts its breast foot forward and staffer heads to Vegas

Dr Mumbo was amused to stumble across the blog of One Green Bean boss Kat Thomas, which as she says features “the good stuff I wish I’d thought of, and the shit stuff that I thank god I didn’t”.   Marmalade

The lead picture of a ‘Beans’ staffer playing the bongos on a pair of fake breasts strapped to a woman was what initially grabbed Dr Mumbo’s attention.

Apparently the agency had launched a few social media initiatives recently, and it was looking to find something “preoccupied purely with the punter’s perspective”.

When agency staff heard about a promotion to support the DVD launch of US comedy, The Hangover, on Facebook, they thought bongo! bingo!

The idea for the competition simply required those game enough to upload a picture of themselves looking inebriated for a chance to win an all expenses paid trip to see the movie’s cast and crew in Vegas, where much of the movie was set.

Greg, from One Green Bean put in his “Bongo Boobs” submission which was taken during a staff bonding session organised by Thomas herself. Greg went up against finalists with photos of men flashing their bits and… well, men flashing their bits.

But low and behold, Bongo Boobs got the gong. So it’s off to Vegas for Greg to become a man…

Exactly what the agency learnt from this exercise Dr Mumbo is still unsure, but if there was an award for the Breast Use of Social Media, the Beans would be a shoo-in.
