Now THIS is viral marketing at its best
Viral marketing is a damnably tricky thing to do right. Trust Volkswagen and its ingenious ad agency to teach us the lesson that straddles the fine line between inspiring creatives to throw themselves from the nearest precipice and inspiring them to do greater work.
It makes me want to buy a VW just so the car manufacturer can continue to invest in such fantastic marketing initiatives.
And who DOESN’T want a little more fun in their everyday lives? You surely know how it is – you can be feeling a little glum, watching a drear world carry out its mundane Groundhog Day-style existence, when something touches you, and your mood is immediately uplifted. Sometimes you can barely force the smile away; you stroll instead of walk, that spring in your step suddenly free of restrictive rust. Could be a baby gurgling with delight, could be a chance encounter with one of those can’t-help-but-like-them-do-they-talk-to-everyone-or-am-I-special strangers, but a musical staircase will have the most beautiful music playing in your ears all day long I suspect.
