Viral Test, um gerador automático de “viralzinho”

Viral Test

Com um projeto chamado Viral Test, a Rapp France e a GoViral certamente pretendem tirar sarro do universo do “viralzinho” instalado hoje em qualquer agência de publicidade. Bem, na verdade, é uma forma de promover um seminário organizado pela Associação de Anunciantes da França sobre marketing online através de vídeos, no próximo dia 6 de outubro.

O que eles prometem é criar diversos vídeos virais genéricos. Experimentos inusitados, curiosos e com elementos daquilo que muitos acreditam ser a receita de um viral de sucesso, como por exemplo, a discussão de verdadeiro ou falso.

E pra que isso serve? Para qualquer empresa inserir, de maneira automática e prática, a sua marca no vídeo. Se você não consegue fazer um viral emplacar, simplesmente tire vantagem de um pronto e pré-testado.

O primeiro vídeo é um experimento com gás hélio e bola de chiclete. A produção é da Blue Film Production.
