Samsung Instinct promo campaign on Youtube (this is what I call viral marketing)
by Serkan Toto on August 1, 2008


Sprint recently launched a clever promotion campaign for their Instinct, calling for users to somehow place the cell phone in home videos and then post them on YouTube (official tagline: “Sell out your family, turn little Suzy into gas money”). First prize: $10,000.

I think this video above is quite a good start, probably because it somehow reminded me of Prodigy’s Smack my bitch up-video. And it’s interactive, meaning you have to click on the annotations to get directed to another YouTube video until the story is brought to an end.

  • Hey - - wanted to clarify something here…

    The interactive youtube video shown above was not a part of the Sprint campaign. It was created by Toronto base Fjord Interactive Marketing + Technology for Samsung Canada…. Jst a coincidence that the US had a similar campaign running in parallel . . .

    PS - Thanks for the good mention!!

  • Thank you for the clarification. I thought it was a professional video made by Samsung itself to kick-start the campaign.

    It doesn’t matter anyway. The only thing which does is the hot girl in the video…and the underlying technology.

  • Whatever it is.. those video is really interesting,especially the hot girl :)
