This use of a major company making a viral video for advertising purposes reminds me of a certain blog post that I wrote for a certain SEM Competition on this site. (cough...Plug...cough...Check it out now. Click below...cough). :)

Viral videos are effective and cheap for advertisers (if they go viral), however the best and the worst thing about viral videos is an advertising agency can't guarantee the amount of viewership that a video will receive.

The Kobe Bryant video of him jumping over a car and my subsequent blog post can be found by clicking on the link below or by searching this site for "Kobe". Check it out now and learn about the power of conversational marketing and viral videos. You can help me win the SEM competition.

Btw, marketingpilgrim.com now ranks in the 6 position on Google for "Kobe Bryant jumps over a car" because of the blog post, which is pretty noteworthy considering the video has been viewed by 3.6 Million.

No wonder it has 2.8 million views and a 5-star rating (from 4,706 ratings), and 1,800 comments...Hillarious.

About time Bud came back with something good, their old ads with the Lizards (or whatever they were) were excellent.

Humour has to be my top ad genre.

Funny.

In Australia, we fill up the swear jar on a daily basis. To say to someone "You Little F..ker" is to compliment that person, to say "f..king bewdy" is to say something is great. And when someone wins the lottery or something similar, we say "f..k off." That doesn't mean we want you to go away, but the news is awesome.

I like the way that this ads doesn't wimp it. If you are going to have a viral video, have fun with it, take a chance, don't pull back at the last minute like so many marketers do (they seem to get cold feet at the advertising altar).
