Viral Advertising
With Moral Integrity

Viral Advertising... you check your e-mail and notice mail in your Inbox from a friend. The subject line says, "Really Cool Video".

You open it because it's from your friend who you trust and sure enough... you enjoy the video so much you forward it to your family and friends so they can see it too.

This is viral advertising in a nutshell. It started with one source then spread via the internet and e-mail to hundreds or thousands of others.

It's contagious and you helped spread it without the advertiser spending a penny of their marketing budget.

Goodbye to Hollywood Advertising

It all starts by letting your creative side entertain ideas... then putting some flesh to them. You don't have to produce an expensive video. Even amateur videos end up going viral.

You have the opportunity to communicate your message in so many ways. Many great viral marketing campaigns are as simple as e-mail.

We found a great example in Harvey Segal's The Ulimate Supertip.

Here a a couple of viral video examples...

YouTube "Gorilla Marketing" Video was a Huge Hit!

Tangle "Preaches the Gospel" Without Saying a Word!

YouTube vs Tangle (GodTube)

You Tube has become a big part of the viral marketing world. We do recommend it as a host for your viral videos... with some discretion. Some of the viral marketing being spread through video contains sexual content.

Unfortunately in today's culture many take advantage of the idea that sex sells. You can be exposed to this degradation through You Tube and other "social" websites.

We know those who are foolish enough to go this route lose out long term. What kind of people do you think they're attracting?

Tangle (formerly GodTube) is a great Christian alternative. The trade off is that there are not nearly as many viewers. This means the viral potential is not as great.

Use which ever best suits your need. Many choose to put their viral advertising on both.

Take a Stand

One solution is for more Christians to have a visible presence on these sites. We cannot afford to passively sit back and let the world take control of media.

OK... we'll get off our soap box. But we do take moral integrity seriously. There is a culture war raging around us. We all need to do our part to stand for Godliness.
