Real-Time Marketing Meets Zombie Apocalypse

Brands love tweeting about popular television shows, and last night’s season premiere of The Walking Dead was no exception.

Here are six Zombie-apocalyptic tweets from brands trying to feed off the show’s brains buzz.

We shudder to think what kind of meat a zombie would expect in his Moons Over My Hammy.

Chips Ahoy

They are also delicious dipped in milk.

Hyundai actually gets a pass for tweeting about the show: the Tucson compact SUV has been prominently featured in The Walking Dead for the last four years.

Cheez-it

Pretty sure that throwing cheez-its at ravenous, flesh-eating corpses would not help.

 Century 21

People do this?

Red Vines

Ugh, make it stop.

Missed opportunity bonus round. We’re really disappointed we never saw this tweet:

“Zombies take their coffee the way they like their people: Ground up and stored in the freezer.”

You can thank us later, Starbucks.
