Ad Age: Twilight Saga Rocks Viral Marketing
door Twilight_News | 11 December 2010
According to their press release:
Every week, the Ad Age Viral Video Chart presents the top, boven 10 meest bekeken brand-driven videos on the web with one major caveat: There are no movie of video-game trailers included in the findings. Why? Well, it’s not really a fair fight. Put it this way: Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa — even with all his talent and outstanding physique — would barely have a chance.
Movie and video-game trailers are very different in the way they’re shared on the web. For one, both game and movie trailers are snippets of the franchises themselves, such as “Harry Potter” and “Call of Duty,” familiar content that’s meer readily shared, so it’s inherently easier for those kind of ads to rise to the top. Plus, movie and gaming marketers out-spend brand marketers exponentially in the weeks and days leading up to their releases, so the number of paid impressions far outweighs any organic view of a viral commercial.
So what would the viral chart look like if we included films and video games? We asked Visible Measures to help us find out, door including the entertainment category in the numbers, and the results were a bit staggering. Without films of video games, Visible Measures’ top, boven 10 Viral Video Ads would have only amassed a combined view count of 320 million aantal keer bekeken for the year. But with them, the total view count tops meer than 1.1 billion views. The only “social ad” to make the top, boven 10 was Old Spice’s “Responses” campaign — and that’s just barely there, at No. 10. The rest of the chart is dominated door seven films and two video games, led door the trailer for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”
So when it comes to viral ads, even Isaiah Mustafa is no match for Edward Cullen — “Eclipse” scored meer than triple the aantal keer bekeken of Old Spice’s aggregate campaign in July, 220.19 million vs. 68.74 million, respectively.
While trailers for some of the year’s biggest blockbusters should come as no surprise (“Toy Story 3,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” “Alice in Wonderland” and “Iron Man 2″ all round out the top, boven 10), there are a few unexpected appearances. No. 2, for example, is Sony’s “The Karate Kid,” a breakout box office hit this summer (more than $176 million in grosses) but hardly a $300 million-plus franchise tentpole, either. Perhaps most astonishing is the No. 3 appearance of Disney’s “Step Up 3D,” which has racked up meer than 138 million trailer aantal keer bekeken yet managed only $42 million in ticket receipts — proof that YouTube aantal keer bekeken don’t always translate to sales.
Elsewhere, Treyarch’s “Call of Duty: Black Ops” leads the video-game category at No. 5 with meer than 110 million views, while Bungie’s “Halo: Reach” trails closely behind at No. 8 with 74.4 million views. Although gaming trailers generate lots of aantal keer bekeken in the pre-release stages, the real traffic comes from the days and weeks after their initial release, when user-generated game-play and how-to videos are uploaded and shared like wildfire among gamers. Visible Measures includes these aggregate clips in each title’s total view counts.
Although there’s still three weeks left in the year, expect few changes to the chart before 2010 comes to a close. Both movie and video-game trailers receive the highest volume of aantal keer bekeken in the week leading up to the title’s release, so the figures are fairly front-loaded. However, there’s still time for one major holiday release (“Tron: Legacy,” perhaps?) to sneak in. But perhaps the real vraag is which brands will crack volgende year’s top, boven 10, and who will be the Isaiah Mustafa of 2011? You’ve got 12 months and at least 68 million aantal keer bekeken to prove yourselves, marketers.

Later that day, Jerek was visiting with Verona, and I was bored off my ass. I was wanting to talk to Tabra, but every time I approached him, he was suddenly busy. We had people on watch guard, and Shropee didn't need me to do anything, so I was bored. Very. Bored.
"I'm bored." I zei to hulst, holly who was walking past me.
"Like I care!" She snapped, and continued on her way.
"Well." I got to my feet, and started off to see how Verona's doing.
When I got to the bottom of the steps, Jerek ran out of the room. "I'll be back. I'm getting Shropee."
"Wait. What? Why?" I asked. "Is she okay?"
"She's awake." Jerek called over his shoulder, and I gasped.
Verona's awake? Verona's awake. Verona's awake.
