MOST CORPORATE TWITTER accounts are pretty boring.
They offer up the standard information about their product, or perhaps use it as a customer service tool.
Some, though, offer a little extra.
Like O2′s UK account for example. They’re not afraid of some good old fashioned craic, as evidenced here by a Twitter exchange from earlier this year.
This week they really took it to the next level, engaging in a Twitter rap battle with rival Tesco Mobile.
It was started by a regular Twitter user, and then escalated significantly.
NOTE: O2′s current advertising campaign is about a cat who decides to ‘be more dog’.
Ok. So they’re clearly not rappers. And frankly, even if they were, a rap battle is probably always going to sound a bit cringey via the medium of Twitter, but they are having a bit of fun.
