Online Videos To Amuse And Inspire
We’ve had enough heavy stuff on The Agitator for this week, here is an item for fun.
But it still has a purpose … encouraging creative use of online video.
These are the top five online video adverts for the past week, as reported by Ad Age Digital:
1. T-Mobile — T-Mobile Dance
2. Samsung — ExtremeSheep LED Art (my personal favorite)
3. Burger King — SpongeBob
4. Cadbury — Eyebrow Dance
5. Head — Novak Djokovic Scores On and Off
The winner had 748,855 views during the week!
The article actually links to the top ten … you’ll enjoy them all.
And maybe they’ll inspire your own creativity. This is what you’re up against if you think your nonprofit is going to unleash the viral marketing campaign of all time. But go for it!
