Ford has a puppet. Doug, a Kermit like hand puppet is appearing in a series of Web videos on Facebook and elsewhere. Actually the videos are on the Facebook wall of John, a Ford marketing specialist.
Now, I know a few of them, not John's but Ford marketing execs, and I don't know him, but he's a good actor, so I'm thinking he may be an actor. Ok, I'm going to say he IS an actor until someone tells
me otherwise. On this Facebook page of John, "marketing guy at Ford" are a series of videos. One uploaded yesterday introduces the puppet at a Ford press conference. Of course it's not a real press
conference. But the guys playing reporters do a good job, and then we cut to Doug flirting with one of the reporters, while the Ford people are having second thoughts about him as a spokesperson.
More on this when i can get Doug on the phone. Or John, or someone. I have an idea, a very GOOD idea that the puppet is actually Scott Monty, Ford's all things digital and social guy.
