Check out one of our favorite realtime marketing stories coming out of this year’s SXSW: Oreo partners with Twitter to create custom cookies using #eatthetweet.
Using a three-dimensional printing system, vending machines in the ‘Trending Vending Lounge’ at SXSW will create (edible) Oreo cookies in just two minutes. The type of cookies will be determined by what’s trending on Twitter at that moment, with a dozen varieties to choose from at any given time. For example, the Ellen selfie from the Oscars was one topic (Advertising Age).
