FILMS GO VIRAL?
#1 CENTRAL IDEA ROOTED IN A
SIMPLE, SINGLE-MINDED BRAND
PROMISE.

#2 EVOKES AN EMOTION:

#3 EFFORTLESS
E N T E R TA I N M E N T
• Sometimes when the aim is to ‘make a viral video’ the

effort shows

• An amateurish, forced video is most often the result
• Even when an ‘event’ is planned, a twist is ensured, a

slick video is shot and all the boxes are ticked…

• That magic could still be missing

CAN A BRAND FILM BE
ENGINEERED TO GO VIRAL?
Image

YOU CAN ADD ALL THE
INGREDIENTS. BUT CANNOT
GUARANTEE SUCCESS.
T H E H I N D I C I N E M A PA R A L L E L

• Every major commercial film promotion follows the

same pattern: teaser, music release, an item number,
participation in reality TV shows as the character…

• But even greatly promoted movies flop
POINTERS FOR BRANDS
1 . R E L E VA N C E > $ $
2. ARE PEOPLE WHIPPING OUT THEIR
PHONES TO CAPTURE YOUR EVENT?
3. THE ‘UPWORTHY’
H E A D L I N E T E S T.
• Sites which focus on showcasing viral content have

their own ‘grammar’

• BuzzFeed’s ’23 great images from…’ to StoryPick’s

‘This shy guy went on stage and what followed will
surprise you’ type headlines
4 . T H E ‘ C H O C H W E E T ’ T R E AT M E N T
H E L P S . ( B U T H E Y, D O N ’ T R E LY O N I T
TOO MUCH).
#BESTBUDS
Viral videos and brands: can you plan for success?
5. GEOGRAPHY IS
H I S T O R Y.

Image
• Global audience guaranteed if video goes viral
• The TNT ‘Push for drama’ film was staged in

Belgium; The Fastweb activation was staged in
Milan

• GoPro has fan following in markets they are not

present in

• Even regional or local brands have the scope for

global exposure
Image

6 . L E V E L P L AY I N G F I E L D
• All brands are treated equal
• David can take on Goliath in an industry
• Brands with little or no budget have a chance to

compete with deep-pocket, big brands
7. SLICK EXECUTION.
G R E AT V I D E O S .
8. SOCIAL MEDIA SHOUTOUTS.
I N T E G R AT I O N .
“Nobody reads ads People read what interests
them. Sometimes it is an ad.”

–HOWARD GOSSAGE, AD GURU, 1950
• Extrapolate the Howard Gossage statement to 2014
• People read (or engage in) things that interests them:

sometimes it is a Facebook post, a tweet, en email
newsletter, a brand video, an app…

• How can we be interesting to the viewer: key question
SO, CAN YOU PLAN FOR SUCCESS

• Don’t set out to make a viral video. Set out to make

honest, great work

• Can learn from & include ingredients of past successes
• But success cannot be guaranteed
• It still calls for some magic
