Home > News > A Creative Spin on Viral Marketing

There’s one thing every marketer wants: To go viral. When something you’ve created (to promote something you sell) becomes so popular it practically takes on a life of its own, you know you’ve hit the jackpot.

To get your creative juices flowing, check out this clever spin on the idea. This slideshow offers 20 concepts of how classic movies might have used viral marketing to create massive buzz. The Godfather, Mary Poppins, The Towering Inferno, The Wizard of Oz and E.T. are all subjects. Truth be told, I’m not a real movie buff so some of the ads left me wondering what movie they were referring to, but overall the work here is impressive. This is what happens when you give marketers a fun, engaging project.

Take a peek at the full slideshow on Cracked.com and tell us which one is your favorite in the comments. My vote? The Godfather. Or Indiana Jones. Both are absolutely brilliant.
