Viral Marketing
Villiers Park: Contemporary British Film
Viral Marketing
 Originally, viral marketing referred to word of mouth advertising...
   one person tells all their friends, who in turn tell all their friends,
   and so on. In practice, this rarely worked out well.
 With the development of the Internet, suddenly more viable...
   You don't have to know your consumer personally to reach
   them with a blog, video, or web page.
   Word of mouth can reach 100s, perhaps 1000s, the moment
   someone hits the post button, it’s instant.
Good Viral Marketing

Ideally, a viral ad does not seem like an ad at all...
The most successful viral marketing technique is to make
something entertaining that people will want to share..
Making something people want to share and giving them easy
access to do so, helps make campaigns successful.
In the Film Industry, viral marketing appears in many forms...

  Emails / e-Cards

  Websites

  Flash Games

and in the last few years...

  MySpace, Facebook, Youtube, Bebo etc...
The Social Networks
               Share with your friends!
               MySpace Transformers takeover homepage...
                 MySpace homepage given a Transformers
                 theme.
    myspace      “Choose your side” campaign; themes your
                 myspace page with Autobots or Decepticons

Viral Marketing Keynote
2007, JJ Abrahams announced
the website for his new film
project.. ‘1-18-08.com’

 featuring photos of party guests,
 destroyed boats missing posters
 and mysterious remains of some
 kind of creature.
Next, a website for fictional Japanese drinks
company, ‘Slusho’, owned by Tagruato Corp.

  ‘Slusho’ also appears in US TV drama, Alias;
  another JJ Abrahams production.

  The company that main character, Rob Hawkins
  is leaving New York to work for.

  Website mentions discovering a “deep sea
  ingredient”.. starting to build a hype about has
  caused the events in the upcoming film.
News Reports are leaked on the internet
following an attack on their drilling rig, just
off the coast of New York.

  Footage shows, debris flying out of the water as
  workers flee...
  ...something supernatural??

  News reports start to give a visual tease that starts
  to build a possible background story for the film.

  Director, Matt Reeves when asked about the
  marketing campaign said...
  “The Internet sort of stories and connections and clues
  are, in a way, a prism and they're another way of looking
  at the same thing. To us, it's just another exciting aspect
  of the storytelling”
Viral Marketing Keynote
Interactive Content
 Marketing for british film
 ‘Shifty” (2008) was criticised for its
 use of Viral Marketing..
 Website allowed you to “Stitch Up
 A Mate”, sending them an email to
 imply they are being investigated
 for drug use
 Advertising Standards Agency
 banned the campaign ruling that
 “Stitch Up A Mate” was “distressing
 and irresponsible” as it was not
 made clear that it was a prank and
 was an advertising material.
Teaser Trailer
Villiers Park: Contemporary British Film
What is a teaser trailer?
 A “Teaser Trailer” or “Teaser” is a short trailer advertising an
 upcoming film.
 Unlike typical trailers, Teasers are very short (between 30-60
 seconds)
 Usually contain very little, if any, actual footage from the film.
 Often released in cinema trails and online a long time in advance
 of the film, sometimes over a year.
How do they work?

Less to tell the audience of any content of a film, but to let them
know something/it’s coming.
Lack of information/content entices the audience into wanting to
know more... “teasing” them.
Often a simple, original and inventive idea is the key...

The Hills Have Eyes 2
Discuss

Discuss recent advertising campaigns that you have seen..
Where have you seen them?
Was it very obvious, or more descrete advertising?
Did it give a lot of information or did it leave a lot of gaps?
Your Teaser Trailers

 Keep It Simple
 Be Creative
 What Information are you going to give and hold back?
 Storyboard and Plan well.
