GoDaddy generated a lot of controversy yesterday, by revealing its Super Bowl ™ XLIX video that featured a lost puppy that gets sold online via a GoDaddy customer’s puppy mill business.
Soon after, allegedly succumbing to negative backlash from animal lovers, PETA and even Michelle Obama, the GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving, called the video a “failed attempt” and announced it is being scrapped.
But was that part of a calculated attempt to capitalize on viral traffic over social media?
You betcha!
