      Harvey Dent's Viral Marketing Campaign Spread Across the Nation
      Yesterday I caught up with the Dentmobile tour in my local city (yes that's me on top of the van) and followed it around until a snow storm hit and shut us down. We've been following the viral campaign for The Dark Knight quite closely and this weekend was the last time the Dentmobile hit the streets. There is one thing I'm amazed at - the lack of actual coverage this campaign is getting! We've already mentioned it before, but there is a lot going on out there that we don't even know about. This is what happens when millions of die hard fans rally in support of a movie and a brilliantly conceived viral marketing campaign. After signing up on the ibelieveinharveydent.com website last month, everyone got a phone call from Harvey Dent on around March 8th (you can read more about that here).

      Viral Marketing Goes Mobile
      Mobile devices, mobile phones and PDA's are one of the last great frontiers of viral advertisement opportunities. However, we have become experts at filtering everything, our air and water, our e-mail and pop-ups, and our mobile devices as well. We are good at filtering.The very idea of unwanted advertising streaming through our Blackberries is abhorrent. Mobile devices are the ultimate opt-in medium and, therefore, a great way for marketers to connect with users…if that's what the users want. "WANT" is the key word here. How should marketers approach the medium? There are three main ways to achieve this. They are:1. Offer exclusive content. Anyone can offer ring tones. It's the unique content, such as exclusive mobile images of new brand concepts, that drives interest and calls them out in other media like e-mail campaigns, newsletters, websites, etc. So a wireless campaign is most effective when it offers exclusive content for wireless devices. 2.

      Recently, forum marketing has been touted as a kind of free, organic, viral marketing. But because so many marketers go into forums purely with the intention of marketing products or services, their actions and attitude unwittingly causes the exact opposite of the desired effect.Forums aren't marketplaces but when used as such, the marketers' actions become offensive and will only inspire the wrath of fellow members and marketers, not to mention moderators who can ban them from the site with the click of their mouse.In order to be effective, this kind of marketing carries a certain degree of commitment, responsibility and respect. The first requirement is to take a personal interest in the main topic of the forum. Not only does that mean visiting it regularly, but it also means developing a good relationship with both other members and the moderators, as well as taking an active interest in helping others. Of course, it also means abiding by and all rules that exist. By doing this,
