Attempted Viral Video Ad Campaign Implodes
A certain dot com agency went (way) out on a limb and is taking a beating for what might prove to be one of the most lame, and comment thrashed, attempts at creating a ‘viral’ web video to-date. The real proof of any concept is in the pudding and this one def. did not deliver. So, now they are getting rightly slammed for an obvious effort to appear hip and cool (Warning; it’s like watching a traffic accident in slow motion). There are plenty of people flaming about it so we won’t pile-on anymore than that. It was actually this unsolicited response which ‘does work’ that prompted us to post the drama via Madison Ave.
What will be interesting to see in the coming weeks is the defamation law-suit from Subway.. unless they actually approved that file – with their brand front and center – to be uploaded and ridiculed in such a manner.
