Viral Marketing

The power of word-of-mouth advertising- digitized for the 21st Century.

Viral Marketing Defined

Viral Marketing takes advantage of pre-existing social media networks to increase brand awareness, sales or sales leads, or both. Traditionally, people associate Viral with video, games or apps, or text messages; however, social bookmarking can also be considered a form of Viral Marketing.

Viral is NOT Social Media Marketing

Although Viral Marketing does often utilize social networks as a foundation to spread the message, Social Media Marketing aims to create a long-term brand loyalty with consumers; Viral Marketing, on the other hand, is essentially a platform for short-term, immediate marketing 'bursts', that may or may not lead to general brand-recognition.
