Interesting contest.
More a battle of the viral marketers than the content producers. What do you think?
We gave it a bash, but found the process a bit limiting to going ‘viral’ as to actually vote you had to go to the competition page ( http://www.youtube.com/canneslions ) , find the video you where looking for (search ‘screamingmex’) and only then are you only given a chance to vote. Where are the direct links youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8sLyGIHDBs

Hey there Aden, I’m a director and considering that you’re the reason I knew about the contest and therefore entered, I wanted to share my entry to the Cannes/youtube 48hr ad run with you. Of course I attribute ALL my success to Digital Buzz Blog… who wouldn’t?!
Anyway, check it out. Enjoy. Keep up the great work.
