Viral marketing is a marketing technique that uses pre-existing social networking services and other technologies to try to increase brand awareness, it is also known as marketing buzz. It can take the form of video clips, interactive flash games, images, text messages and even email messages.
The goal of viral marketing is to create viral messages that grab the public’s attention and create word-of-mouth about the current product or services. It is often associated with Stealth marketing, being that both marketing strategies aim to advertise to the public without them knowing they are being advertised to.
AMC launched Mad Men Yourself, an avatar creator, to help create buzz for the third season of Mad Men. The avatar creator allowed the public to make a stylized ‘60s version of themselves. The site received a half a million visitors in just the first week and because of this brilliant viral marketing campaign, the premiere of season three of Mad Men had record ratings.
