The Olympics are a great example of an activity that spreads extremely virally.  BrandWeek wrote about the number of page views NBC received due to the major olympic activities, such as Michael Phelps gold metal winning streak.

Viral marketing doesn’t have to be purposeful or orchestrated.  There are many instances where viral marketing spreads naturally due to the value of the programming, and the olympics certainly meet that criteria.

Bluetooth + Cellphone + Popcorn =? Viral by Ryan Pitylak

I wrote about the viral marketing video by Bluetooth that took a common fear (cell phone waves killing your brain) and spun it around to sell their product.  This is a great way to sell a product, especially considering how much traction the video received online.

Creating these unique videos takes creative talent, but ideally, you can distribute them on a low budget.  Creating good videos can be costly, but the overall cost is very low compared to normal advertising vehicles.
