Reese's is calling its promotion around "Iron Man II" "Part Chocolate. Part Peanut Butter. All Hero." The effort includes ads, on-pack, instant-win promotions dangling a chance to be a walk-on in a
future Marvel film, a contest among Massachusetts Institute of Technology students (Tony Stark, a/k/a Iron Man, went to MIT, ostensibly).
Among other sweepstakes rewards, a trip for two to
visit a Marvel film set, a trip for two to attend a Marvel film premiere and 100 runners-up will receive a Sega Iron Man 2 video game.
On campus, MIT MBA students will have to figure out a way to
generate awareness for the promotion online. The digital marketing competition has two teams of three students competing to see which team can drive the most fans to www.reeses.com/ironman2.
"Iron Man" will also be featured in a national television commercial airing through May 2.--Karl Greenberg
