Cool Internet Marketing: Wii and Youtube
Familiar with Youtube? I bet you are. Like most Internet marketers, you’re looking for ways to stand out creatively in your online advertising efforts. Today I came across a 45 second video produced by Nintendo Wii and shown on Youtube. The video shows a snippet of Wii’s Wario Land: Shake It! game. You’re in for a real treat when you watch the video.
4.8 million views and counting
The Wario Land: Shake It! video has been viewed over 4.8 million times since its launch (as of today’s posting). Impressive? You bet. But what are the numbers on increase of sales or exposure to the game itself? Although the video is cool and the effect from a marketing point is right-on in terms of creativity, metrics above all are most important.
Interviewing the Wii marketing executive
If you follow my blog (if not subscribe today), you know that I frequently interview executives from CEOs to VPs of Marketing/Sales. Hearing the results and experiences of the executives who develop brilliant marketing campaigns, intelligent software that’s user-friendly, or just all-out cool businesses, is one of the best ways to learn what works and what doesn’t when it comes to achieving your successes.
Moving forward, I will try to secure an interview with the executive behind the Wario Land: ShakeIt! video and see what the metrics are and what the return on investment (ROI) is for the campaign.
