Vlog Episode 9
Amir Shoucri | January 8th, 2009
Way back in 2008, our viral team, along with Mothner, attended a film shoot at scenic Quixote Studios near Burbank. Our client produced a short PSA dramatizing the effects of an impending SAG strike, and encouraging members to avoid bringing the industry to a standstill. A couple of our own driven performers ended up being featured (quite prominently, in fact) in the video. Here’s a special behind-the-scenes look at their moment of glory: And here’s the Save The Biz video. You can check out the website at www.savethebiz.org. Save this Post!

How To – Viral Marketing (What Not To Do)
Josh Tauber | September 22nd, 2008
It was reported earlier this week that “Kitt”, the beloved Mustang GT500KR from the new Knight Rider Television series was stolen at a promotional event in Toronto Canada. E! News seemed to have the initial scoop while YouTube users were uploading first hand accounts of the events from cellphone videos. It all seemed very suspicious. I had to further my investigation — call me the Mythbuster of Viral Marketing. I first checked to see who uploaded the video. It was fairly suspect that the user who uploaded the video was a new member to Youtube. Although not definitive evidence that this was a “fake” viral, it didn’t help. Next I looked at the meta tags. These tags are usually not very good if a user isn’t familiar with meta data. Check even popular videos on Youtube. They are sparse and sometimes unrelated (Hot chicks making out, boobs, etc.) The tags on this persons Youtube video were as follows: Now lets look closer at these Meta Keywords… They did have one random keyword in there — “girls” — but the rest are too perfect. They not only used quotes for an exact match keyword, hardly common knowledge among the everyday YouTube user, they used the keyword “E!”. E! huh? Even if E! was at the event I am not sure that an everyday YouTuber would have the insight to carefully select E! as a keyword. Today we found out it was in fact a Viral Marketing campaign. I wanted to add Continue reading…

Viral Violence
Amir Shoucri | September 19th, 2008
“…the comic mask is ugly and distorted, but does not imply pain.” –Aristotle Most of us who work on computers will watch at least one funny or outrageous video a day. Sometimes more like 10 or 20. They usually come out of nowhere, dropped in the form of an IM or e-mail link — a little gift of levity or extreme violence to help you through the day. Perhaps a flaming-shot-gone-wrong video like this one. It makes you feel like a champ watching bad things happen to someone else. It lets you ignore the bad things that are happening to you. In a way, comedic and violent videos (the line is fine) are similar to the puns and pratfalls of vaudeville days. You used to go pay to see a man fall on his ass on a stage. Now, you can watch a baby kicked for the same effect. Or a remix of a baby being kicked. The key difference, you might say, is this one really happened (if it wasn’t faked) whereas physical comedy in vaudeville or a film is staged. There’s a quote from a magician character in the Christopher Nolan movie The Prestige: “If people actually believed the things I did on stage, they wouldn’t clap, they’d scream. Think of sawing a woman in half.” The implication is we should be upset about a baby being kicked, not laughing. That is, if it were real. Without getting too intellectual about it, I think it’s probably because the Continue reading…
