This is great. One of the best – if not the best – shows of all time is part of a viral video!

Youtube user hh1edits spliced together the best 100 quotes from HBO series The Wire in a video that has become viral today.

Right now it is on the top 20 of the most shared videos in the past 24 hours (at position 18) but don’t know if there’s enough mainstream apeal for it to climb up the ladder further. On the other hand, it had/has a rabid fan-base who will seed and share the hell out of this video, so who knows (I’m doing my part!). At the moment, it has 91.000 views.

Great stuff!

This week started on ABC the remake for the 80’s reptillian alien invasion  TV show “V”.

And with it, it’s kick starting what has the ingredients to be a great viral campaign.

Not only because of the potencial money involved (they have good budgets), but also because of the the nature of the story.

You see, even in the first episode, the aliens themselves practice some viral marketing: they “recrut” humans to be their “peace” ambassadors on earth and spread the word on their community. They motivate teens to graffitti tag the V sign on the streets. Guerrilla marketing right there!

And then there’s a resistance, oh! perfect for Alternate Reality Games!

But besides the story itself, ABC his starting a real viral marketing campaign where the viewers can enroll either as a V ambassador OR as a member of the resistance.

It didn’t fully start yet, but with all the story elements it really has the ingredients to be a great viral campaign. A good viral marketing strategy by ABC.
