Most of you would have heard about the “World Cup” on in New Zealand right now, but I suspect a large percentage of you, particularly people from the US, might not know all the rules of Rugby… So, in a style made famous recently, here is the “Sexy Rugby Rules” presented by Lynx. I thought [...]

The second generation of Intel’s new ‘i’ series processors are out, and to build some hype they have just launched a neat video on YouTube called “The Chase”. It’s a short action/adventure film that is shown through a variety of windows, animations, code, Facebook pages, websites, Google maps and games, among other things! It went live this week and [...]

4 days and 4+ million views, that’s what you get when you throw Roger Federer into a viral video and seed it to perfection. It’s kind of scary when you take a step back and think about how many of these trick-shot-style viral videos are out there (or have been), and how almost every time, no matter [...]

Lynx recently launched a new series of webisodes on Facebook called The Wingman Academy, a new training facility designed to get rid of dating irritations as they put it, in typical lynx style!

Right. So a pizza company creates a crazy YouTube choose your own adventure film as a lead gen tool and sales driver? I love it. Hell Pizza, a little New Zealand Pizza startup that has rapidly grown to about 100 stores (in multiple countries) have just launched a very cool campaign with YouTube’s Annotations feature allowing them to [...]

Maybe it’s because I’ve had a seriously long day, but this ongoing webisode series on Facebook from Bacardi called True Originals has just completely disappointed me, in fact using these videos as a Facebook campaign is a clear and epic fail on a number of levels. But first, let’s look at these amazing short films where a mysterious character seems [...]

I’ve just been sent a link to what I believe is an almost undiscovered land within YouTube, well, by undiscovered I mean I’ve never seen it (have you guys??) and for an official YouTube run channel, it’s clearly almost non existent with only 60,000 views since going live back in December 2009. This is home to the the [...]

Looking back at my previous post on Flash Mobs, it’s interesting to see how something on a much smaller scale can have a much bigger impact. I guess you could call this a flash mob of sorts, but it’s not your typical dancing group (although these are the same guys that did the Frozen Grand Central [...]

Here is another new chat roulette campaign fresh off the webcam this month, it’s a viral campaign for Buzz TV in Spain, a TV station that claims to be Intense, Real and has No Limits. So this is perhaps the most visual of all the campaigns I’ve seen so far and it takes what unsuspecting [...]

If you remember this time last year, I posted the Olympus PEN Story, that stopmotion video had 2.5 million views and was somewhat revolutionary in the way the stopmotion was presented. This is version two, the PEN Giant, where they have again taken 355 photos on an Olympus Pen, but this time they’ve printed them [...]

Fortnight Lingerie launched a viral video last week, it’s called Super Sexy CPR and aims to get men (and women), who’ve been putting off learning CPR, a powerful reason to learn the best way to do it! From all accounts so far it’s seriously accurate! What I wasn’t a fan of, was the missed opportunity around the [...]

This is one of only a few music videos that have utilised Google Street View to create something just a little different. I don’t understand a word of dutch (even thought a portion of my family is from Tilburg in Holland) but I do know it’s a tribute song to Tripple X’s home town in [...]

I laughed when I first watched this new viral campaign from Hi-Tec. Maybe it was just the South African accent or perhaps it’s the entire documentary style viral video promoting a water proof line of clothing, shoes and accessories that are supposedly so water repellent that you can literally run on water with them, after some training ofcourse!
