Cool Viral Videos and Weird Publicity Campaigns 2011
Watching a cows TV ad has made think about the cool viral videos and wonderfully weird publicity campaigns that I have seen this year so far.
Digitalisation is indeed one of the aspects that have marked the last few years in many countries in the world. This includes India and China, where social media and website optimisation have been embraced enthusiastically. Check the figures in this cool infographic for some more information on this matter.
I feel I am lucky enough to be in London to experience and learn about all things digital. There even is a version of the Sillicon Valley – the Sillicon Roundabout in the Old Street area. Offline campaigns can also be really good.
Let’s take a look at some of the cool viral videos and weird publicity campaigns during 2011, in no particular order. Feel free to add any ideas or to comment.
