Ikea Facebook viral
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under Viral Campaigns
Another video going viral today is one explaining a very clever marketing campaign for Ikea on Facebook.
As you’ll see, their task was to engage people for a new store opening in Mälmo, but extend beyond it.
So they used an already existing platform (Facebook) and used and already existing tool (photo tagging) to created a concept [...]

Stop-motion virals

Anyway, in the morning it had [...]

Brutal Polar bear viral
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under Viral Campaigns
This video causes some impact (no pun intended). It was made for movement Plane Studid by creative agency Mother, to reduced air travel because of the effects they might have on climate change.
And this leaves an emotional dent (even if slight) on people who watch, and at least at that moment, they really think about the [...]
