VICE | Is This The Worst Attempt At Viral Marketing Ever?

DC Shoes makes a pretty impressive driving video for Ford and Monster. I get making cool content, I just don’t get doing it to promote other brands so prominently. Impressive driving though.

Hats off to whoever was able to work with K Swiss to make this happen. Great, fun content that is likely of great appeal to their audience and many more. This is a sure hit. Great content that doesn’t feel like its just another ad - that’s how you do it.

A neat visualization of your Facebook experience and connections by Intel. Although it was nice to look at, ultimately I wondered what the point was. It didn’t do much to make think of Intel, beyond some familiar creative (i.e. the robotic arms).
