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.

Posh English School Eton Launch “Gangham Style” Remix

Gangham Style is sweeping the world and the latest parody video features a bunch of posh school boys from well known public school Eton as they talk about the super-spoilt lifestyle they all lead.

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.

Star Wars Themed Flash Mob

Flash mobs always get much attention online and when you combine them with a choir playing the theme to Star Wars, you know you will have a massive hit on your hands.

Incredible Video Shows The New GoPro 3 Camera

Some of the best footage from around the world these days is shot on GoPro cameras and the good news is that they have just released their latest version along with this stunning video shot entirely on the GoPro Hero 3.

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.

First Windows 8 TV Advert

As Microsoft goes about betting the house on Windows 8, it’s about to start one of its largest marketing campaigns ever seen and this is the first TV ad.

LEGO Version Of The Felix Baumgartner Stratos Jump

Just when you thought your had seen all the hype around Felix Baumgartner’s crazy jump for Red Bull, along comes a LEGO version of the video which will generate millions of views in its own right. Brilliant!

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.

Nike’s Boca Juniors Seismograph

Passion for sport and, in particular, for your favorite team, is something that you feel inside. It’s an emotion that people reveals through choirs, sounds, noise, applauds, jumps, all movements that generate vibrations, vibrations so powerful that one could compare them to earthquakes. Do you think this is a crazy comparison? Well, my friends at Nike Argentina came up with an idea that could make you change your mind. When Boca Junior scores, its supporters generate vibrations like a 6.2 earthquake on a Richter scale.

To prove the comparison, they installed four seismographers at the San Juan Stadium, home of the 2012 Copa Argentina Final, and the data collected, seem to prove the case unequivocally.

I can’t decide whether this project is brilliant or creepy scary (because of what it reveals). For sure I like it because it’s not just a celebration of the victory of the Club, but it’s also a pretty amazing way to pay tribute to the supporters who put so much energy and passion in following Boca Juniors home and away. On the flip side, I don’t know if I would ever dare going to the stadium to support Boca…

BTW have a look at the case study video. It’s very well put together and delivers pretty well the emotions and the “vibrations” of the Boca supporters.

Bodyform: Truth about Periods

This is just brilliant! Well done from Bodyform, a sanitary napkin brand in the United Kingdom. One of their Facebook fans posted a hilarious comment on the official Facebook page of Bodyform, where he complained that his girlfriend wasn't happy when she had her period. The comment got over 80k likes, and Bodyform decided to answer, with this hilarious video..

Well played Bodyform!
