Viral Defined

I just came across this video. Titled “Please Don’t Vote – Tell 5 Friends,” its content is clever, funny, urgent and–best of all–relevant. It also contains no fewer than three calls to action.

It is the definition of viral marketing.

    Are you saying that viral success is a call to action(s)? I think that’s part of it. But there’s some other elements needed for viral to become viral: http://publicaffairs2point0.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/viral-success/

    Let me know what you think.

    Hi Jesse: Also recommended for viral success is “content is clever, funny, urgent and–best of all–relevant.” And, as you correctly stated in your own post (http://publicaffairs2point0.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/viral-success/), personal, surprising and easy-to-forward also should be in the mix.
