LOST – Time To ‘Move On’

// May 24th, 2010 // Music & Entertainment, life

Sad day.  Just finished the series finale of LOST.

I know it’s funny and those who didn’t care for the series won’t understand but that show was amazing and I’m really going to miss it.  Really.

For six years, including the pilot episode, my wife and I have been glued to the TV each week to watch this show.  We’ve had 100s of theories and have spent countless nights with friends trying to guess/figure it out.  Yeah it sounds nerdy but it was fun.  It was entertainment.  No other show has had an impact on our culture like LOST.  At least not as long as LOST has.

At the end of every season many message boards and social networks have had ongoing discussions and  theory topics.  LOST helped the hype with hidden commercials, hidden websites, public websites and hidden eggs all through the series.  Amazing marketing and consumer engagement.  It worked.

Simple lesson in marketing.  Engage your consumer and they will engage you.

Thanks LOST for 6 amazing seasons.  Where ever those people ‘move on’ too we’d like to see some of that in the future.
