Marketing radio: the viral video solution....



This was mentioned, somewhat sniffily, by Ed Stourton on this morning's Today Programme (Radio Four: the wife insists). But then, he isn't in it. Perhaps he wasn't up for wearing a posing pouch. Sure beats a red nose...

It's part of an experiment conducted by the programme on so-called viral marketing. It's a bit clumsy and too long, but it does illustrate the concept, I think. And all kudos to Evan Davies for agreeing to...participate so fully. Watch and wonder.
Notably few viewings, incidentally, but I am writing this before 9.00am...

Today want to know how far this video spreads through people like me blogging, tweeting or emailing it. Well... I think I've given them enough help.

Hmm, from what I hear, those costumes are par for the course for our Evan. In fact quite tame really...

My lips are sealed.

But I hear he's also a very nice bloke.

Got the joke about 12 seconds in, the rest is redundant...

But it got as far as Dubai in under an hour!
