Radisson's Social Branding Went Through the Roof After Dropping the Vikings

Its best marketing move all summer

Yesterday may have been Radisson Hotels' best digital marketing performance ever, thanks to dropping its Minnesota Vikings' sponsorship in reaction to the team's troubles with Adrian Peterson.

The hospitality brand decided on Monday night to cut ties with the National Football League franchise, after the Vikings momentarily reinstated Peterson, a star running back who had been suspended for allegedly abusing his 4-year-old son. The marketer immediately began to reap benefits from the move.

On Tuesday alone, according to Amobee Brand Intelligence, Radisson received enough social, Web and mobile impressions to account for 58 percent of its total online consumption (impressions plus mentions) for the last three months.
