More Viral Marketing Examples — Babies!

Last week I posted a post profiling examples of viral marketing. You might remember that I included a video of the E*Trade babies. In doing research for that post, I came across several other videos that also included babies and also successfully went viral.

So I just had to share…again.

This last video is not exactly an example of viral marketing (unless Beyonce’s team is somehow behind it). It is, however, an example of how one very easily made video can spread fast. A simple search on YouTube for “Beyonce baby dance” resulted in over 4,000 results most of which were variations on this exact same video.

Imagine if you came up with a clever video (and made sure to include your company name and URL somewhere on the video), and then imagine what would happen if 4,000 other videos were created to mimic yours. That’s viral.
