This Week’s 10 Most Talked About Viral Videos

Another week and another set of brilliant viral videos that has got lots of people talking. Rather than sifting through the billions of videos that people have uploaded, I share the ten best virals every week form the world of marketing and advertising. This week, I have a couple of classics from brands like Coke Zero and Google as well as a great Lego recreation of last week’s big Red Bull stunt. Sit back and go full screen and enjoy this weeks classics.


Which Blends Better? iPhone 5 Or Samsung Galaxy SIII

The iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III have been going head to head in all sorts of battles, but the latest is probably the funniest so far as we get to find out which one blends best.

Brilliant Skyfall Promo Sees Commuters Racing Against The Clock For Tickets

Filmed in Antwerp central station, commuters who wanted a Coke Zero were given the chance to win tickets to see the new Bond film Skyfall. However, once they entered their name, they were given 70 seconds to collect the tickets at the other side of the station. What ensues is a mad rush filled with obstacles as they sprint to platform 6 to get the ticket. Brilliant!




Shoe Brand Launches Brilliant Real World Instagram Campaign

With over 100 million users, brands were always going to start embracing Instagram and we’re seeing campaigns come along in all shapes and sizes. We love this one because it combines the real world with the online world and gives ladies free shoes. A winner all round.

Restaurant Introduces The World’s First Instagram Menu


Have you ever been in a restaurant ordering food and not been sure what to choose? Well, one innovative dining establishment has come up with an innovative solution that allows users to tag their photos.
It creates the world’s first Instagram menu thus leaving stunning images for future diners to browse through. Very smart indeed and we predict we’ll be seeing this in many other restaurants pretty soon.

Dive Into The Great Barrier Reef Thanks To Google+ Hangouts

Google+ has plenty of critics (including ourselves), but it’s never short of some good marketing material. This video – showing how their hangouts product is being used by divers on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef – is incredibly smart. Just a shame that nobody is on the service to actually see it.

What Are the Hottest Soft Drink Brands in Social Media?


Taken from http://www.mashable.com

Red Bull dominated this week’s chart of soft drink brands with the highest social media engagement. You can probably guess why.

According to Starcount, the data aggregator which tracks metrics from 11 networks to measure social popularity, Red Bull topped the list ahead of arch-rivals Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

The Austrian energy drink company has to thank Felix Baumgartner for its success this week. Fearless Felix’s jump from the edge of space was the talk of the week, and other than real life records, it also broke some social media records. In fact, it was the most-watched live video in YouTube‘s history.

In other findings, Coca-Cola achieved the highest engagement, continuing to pile up Facebook fans — it even doubled first-place Red Bull. The rankings didn’t change since last time apart from Red Bull taking the top spot and Monster overtaking Dr Pepper for the fourth place. The energy drink had a strong week as far as YouTube video views, with more than 300,000, although a far cry from the two soda giants, which both recorded more than one million views.
