If you're a big fan of The Office, chances are you saw last night's episode, "The Baby Shower".
And naturally it
was a baby shower to end all baby showers.
Front and center in the storyline of the show was our client Orbit Baby's Infant System and Bassinet Cradle.
While plenty of remarks and blog posts around the web today surmised that Orbit Baby must have placed their baby gear on the show, the product actually wound up there through a much more organic sequence of events.
Joseph Hei, co-founder of Orbit Baby talked a little bit about it with some fans of the company today....he told them:
"From what we understand, some folks from "The Office" use Orbit Baby products personally and really love them. So, when they saw an opportunity in the story line they were developing with "The Baby Shower" to get Orbit strollers into the script, they got in touch with us. While we worked with them to get just what they needed, we weren’t really sure what to expect, so when we saw it ourselves last night, our jaws dropped open. The Orbit Baby office has always loved "The Office", so being part of the show was a real thrill for all of us!"
Of Dwight's "extreme road test" Joseph smiled and had these thoughts:
"We don’t recommend parents throw their Orbits into barbed wire fences, or drag them behind cars like Dwight Schrute, but in reality they’re made to safely protect children even better than they do Dwight’s watermelon.
We’ve always prided ourselves on using higher-quality materials and more advanced engineering than anyone else in the baby industry. Hopefully our appearance on The Office was a fun way to show everyone that the Orbit can take much more than what Dwight dished out!"
"The Office" staff sent us these production shots to share - we hope you love them as much as we do.
And if you really love The Office, stay tuned we'll be announcing another surprise in a few days.
