Hope you had a good Easter break!
I think I’m suffering from a chocolate overdose
Anyway, I came across this little Viral Internet Marketing campaign on a forum:
Maybe it’s just my sick sense of humor, but I got a giggle out of it
The 3 things I liked about this Viral Internet Marketing campaign were:
- It was Timely (hey, it’s Easter if you haven’t noticed!);
- It was Humorous (and memorable), and;
- It had a “Sell” at the end (instead of going for “brand recognition”).
There are some things that I would have done differently in the implementation to try and boost the results (all of these tips are covered in: 7 Steps to Viral Internet Marketing Success)
But what they’ve done so far has been successful - after all, it was “infectious” enough to reach me on a forum which had nothing to do with marketing!

P.S. – This video reminded me of that horrible magic trick from the movie “The Prestige” where the bird gets killed in a cage. Although even that trick wasn’t as disturbing as seeing David Bowie act!

Thanks for sharing the video. Not the most plesant visual but like you said, very memorable. One thing that bothers me these days about both viral campaigns like this one as well as integrated promotions is that I’m finding URLs to be easily forgotten. Maybe due to the fact that we’re starting to get a saturation of this campaign format; but something for marketers to keep in mind when planning.
