Freddy Krueger goes viral

From Italy a video (viral?) featuring Freddy Krueger (yes, the guy from Nightmare) eating chips. Sorry but I really don’t like the association of such an horrible monster with food.

Relentless virals ain’t viral

Coca-Cola is supporting its new energy drink Relentless with an online markteting campaign (via Brand Republic). A website delivers the message “No half measures” through videos animations.

The Ice Age is back (with a viral)

One of my favourite animated films ever “Ice Age” is about to come back with the second episode. To promote the upcoming movie release, Twentieth Century Fox has created a viral marketing campaign featuring one of the funniest characters, Sid the Sloth.

Four viral videos and an advergame to emphasize the importance of being “fresh” when skiing. The idea is that if you travel by train, you sleep during the night and you reach the ski resort perfectly awake and ready to have fun. If you don’t travel by train, then you’re very tired and… watch the videos to see what happens. [via Culture Buzz]

“Viral Oscars” announced

Maverick Media has won the Oscar at the Channel 4′s Ideas Factory viral competition. The video, created for the videogame “Juiced” shows two men in a car who discover their videogame console can cause a young woman to lose her clothes. Personally, I very much prefer the runner up, created by Great Guns to promote appealnow.com, the website for drivers who think they have had incorrect parking tickets. The full list of winners can be found on Boreme.

The streakers game

In the UK, T-Mobile is online with an advergame with an amazing viral potential. It’s called The Beautiful Game, and challenges users to perform their best as streakers… It’s sexy (maybe not in the first level , it’s funny and it’s very British!

My favourite is the MBA one (bottom left video).
