Opportunity for differentiation

• Consumers are exposed to an insane number of commercial impacts

• Every day it is more difficult to grab the attention of our target customers

• The efficiency of traditional marketing techniques decreases

reach a large audience

• Word Of Mouth is nothing new of this era of the Internet

• But the web is becoming social and people are highly connected on social networks

• This amplifies the reach and speed of the diffusion of viral messages

traditional approach

viral approach

more credibility and relevance

• Consumers have developed a negative attitude towards traditional advertising

• People trust other people. 78% of people don’t trust advertising

• In viral marketing the message comes with the endorsement of a trusted friend

Better return on investment• Viral marketing is not free;

some kind of promotion is necessary to raise awareness about the campaign

• Once a critical mass is reached the message gets spread virally (for free)

• The higher the viral effect, the better the ROI of the campaign

Higher engagement

• In viral marketing users take an active role: watch, comment, like, share

• In some cases they even create content or suggest new videos to be produced

• Thus the % of targeted audience that remembers the brand is higher than in mass media

Value of Viral Effect

Key Metrics

value

It’s all about a good story• You don’t control the

distribution of the message that is sent from friends to friends

• To encourage the pass-along rate it is important that your video does not sound like an add

• The product or brand might appear explicitly but within a story

Do something unexpected

• To earn the attention of users you need to surprise people

• Never repeat something just because it worked in the past; leverage the novelty effect

• Example: the tippex campaign surprises when the hunter goes out of the video and grab a tippex

Create an emotion

• To be memorable and forwarded the message needs to raise an emotion

• The emotion might be humor, play the absurd, a fake-or-real situation…

• Or the emotion might be terror or something controversial

Make sequels• If you happen to find a

creative concept that gets viral you’ve got a golden mine

• Don’t just do a one-shot viral but make sequels to amplify the effect of the campaign over time

• You can do a making off (Mixta), blend different objects or play with many different verbs (tippex)

Engage people

• Allow sharing, embedding and downloading

• Ask people to suggest new videos or create their own ones

• Not only they will bring fresh ideas but will also become ambassadors of your campaign
