Meizu Reaches Out, Hand-Delivers Free Phones to Some Weibo Followers [VIDEO]

Chinese phone-maker Meizu has just wrapped up a social media marketing campaign that saw it literally reaching out to new fans – and handing out 48 free Meizu MX phones that were delivered personally to winners all over China.

And now there’s a nice, little road trip-esque video (embedded below) with laid-back trippy music to commemorate that ‘Dream Carriers’ social media marketing campaign. All folks had to do to be in with a shot of winning was follow the new ‘Meizu Mobile’ Weibo account. It saw that account go from zero to over 400,000 followers in the space of a few weeks – though some have unfollowed thereafter. All the action took place in April, and Meizu has released the video of the whole thing this week. The short film sees Meizu’s young couriers taking planes, trains, and cabs to deliver the device right into the hands of the selected followers.

Next month, the upstart phone-maker will unleash its MX Quad-core phone on the public, which is powered by the Samsung Exynos processor that can also be found in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy SIII.

Here’s Meizu’s Dream Carriers video with English subtitles (or readers in China can see the same video in your language over on Youku):
