RIM takes credit blame for Apple campaign

Research In Motion (RIM), the maker of BlackBerry smartphones, has been revealed as the perpetrator of the infamous "Wake Up" advertising campaign that has puzzled Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. The campaign has seen screaming protestors being dumped outside of the Sydney Apple store and traipsing through the streets. Cryptic messages have also popped up all over Sydney and Melbourne. Black-and-white signs bearing the message "Wake Up" have been spotted all over the two cities, including on the bottom of a pool at Sydney's Bondi Beach. RIM today took ownership of the controversial campaign. We can confirm that the Australian "Wake Up" campaign, which involves a series of experiential activities taking place across Sydney and Melbourne, was created by RIM Australia. A reveal will take place on May 7 that will aim to provoke conversation on what "being in business" means to Australians.
