Creative Inspiration: 202 Marketing Viral Links

This is by no means a complete listing of marketing viral, but it's pretty big. I get asked by clients a lot to show them examples of viral marketing. Well, I keep a list of viral ideas I see, and now you have it too.

Note, I assume that all these were intended primarily as viral marketing -- meaning that the majority of the distribution was expected to be through viral spread versus paid advertising. Some of these, especially the foreign ones, may actually have been plain old TV ads -- standards of proprietary are of course different in other places so some may indeed have been intended primarily for air.

Anyway, consider this creative inspiration. And hopefully this will be a living post - send me links to other viral content you think should be on this. The email address is to the right.
