CEO Brian Armstrong fumbled a Twitter thread bragging about the origins of the company's Super Bowl ad spot.
, Armstrong said Coinbase was initially pitched "a bunch of standard Super Bowl ad ideas" by an outside agency and didn't like them. They brainstormed instead.But an agency did have the idea of using a QR code, Kristen Cavallo, CEO of The Martin Agency, said in aCoinbase's ad "was actually inspired by presentations our agency showed your team on 8/18 and 10/7 with ad concepts for the Super Bowl floating QR codes on a blank screen.
"Multiple agencies — including The Martin Agency — pitched us ideas that included QR codes for several different campaigns," she added. Armstrong also fired off a final tweet about 12 hours after his first, acknowledging they had help from "a creative firm."It's not the first time Armstrong has come under fire for his tweets. Last fall, when the SEC effectively killed Coinbase’s proposed lending product, saying it should be regulated as a security, he tweeted that he didn't see how a lending product could be a security.
