Phillips understands viral marketing

    I just followed a link to www.shaveeverywhere.com and the site is freaking hysterical.

    It looks to me like the perfect use for viral marketing for a big company - putting out statements about your product that would never get air time on TV and in a way that makes people laugh and provides decent link bait.

    Being first to the table with something like this also decreases the effectiveness of competitors - since it's really only funny the first time you see it.

    This is only viral campaign put out by a big company that I've seen as decent. Sony's was stupid, and offensive to think you couldn't see right through it. Maybe there have been some that I haven't run into, but the ones I have seen look like too much money spent on a not-so-good idea.

    The testimonials and the "optical inch" section had me rolling.

    Does anybody have any other good examples of good product-oriented viral campaigns?
