Wondering how to get a viral spread of that great video of yours?

There’s a lot of talk about viral marketing through video. But given that you have produced something worth seeing, how do you actually get it on the run?
Well, it’s not necessarily that easy and the biggest single mistake brands do is they believe a good little piece will take off by it self. Is that the case? Of course not. You gotta give that moving beast of yours more than a push, you’ve gotta strap some rockets to each and every frame and hope for a safe launch into outer space.
Spreading video online is not about putting it on YouTube. You’ve gotta see the whole web and each and every site’s own potential.
