122. KICK @$$ SOCIAL | Brands Getting Personal with Personas (feat. Creative Director, "I'm a snake" guy, Matt Keck)
Matt Keck is a creative director who worked on the Wendy's account for over a decade and is also known for the old YouTube meme "I'm a snake."
This week, Brit and Chase tracked down Matt to talk about what he learned about going viral, turning online beefs into social gold, creating "Stans," and humanizing brands, including helping Wendy take her crown as the Queen troll of the internet. Plus, his new podcast, #RoastMe: the story of the Wendy’s Twitter account, and his upcoming comedy special.
