Six Flags’ Mr. Six on Twitter

This summer, Mr. Six is back in the Six Flags advertisements for their “More Flags…More Fun” marketing campaign. You probably know Mr. Six as that dancing old guy from previous Six Flags commercials, beginning back in 2004. Now Mr. Six has taken things to a whole new level with a presence on Twitter.

Known for his energetic dancing, he is now carrying over his fun style from TV ads to the microblogging site. Recently, Mr. Six was seen tweeting with Academy Award winning writer Diablo Cody, when she asked Mr. Six for an invitation to Media Day for the launch of the new rollercoaster, Terminator Salvation at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

“Mr. Six has quite the imagination and is definitely hip to pop culture,” said Angie Vieira Barocas, Six Flags Senior VP of Marketing and Entertainment. “Joining Twitter was a big step for Mr. Six, but we’ve learned that he is quite techno-savvy and is now even updating his tweets from his mobile phone. Twitter has given him the opportunity to further engage fans with his contagious charisma through creative tweets.”

More and more companies are using characters from their marketing campaigns and other advertisements on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites.
