SPIRAL MEDIA & GAYTIME - UTILISING SOCIAL MEDIA APPS TO DRIVE PEER TO PEER DISTRIBUTION AND BRAND ENDORSEMENT

Picture 60.pngSpiral Media continues to celebrate a series of new project wins, most recently adding Unilever’s Golden Gaytime, one of their iconic ice cream products, to their client base.
After laying low for the past few years, the Golden Gaytime is back, showcasing its  retro TV spots from the early 80s. 
Spiral Media will launch the TVCs on the No.1 Facebook application SuperWall, with the aim of utilising social media networks to drive peer to peer distribution and endorsement.  This application is advantageous for advertisers as a play is only counted when the trailer is viewed for more than 10 seconds.  Plus advertisers do not pay for ‘viral forwards’, so this value-add viral component is highly desirable.

The clients also don't pay because no-one watches it.

Can we stop writing like this?

Basically you took some ads and posted them on some walls.

I do this peer to peer shit everyday.

Stop fucking our eyeballs with your over-hyped dick.

Stop it.

To anonymous - I think you will find that the article refers to SuperWall on Facebook. HENCE, the numbers on the YouTube player are likely not representative of the numbers on the actual placement which is within an application across several social networks. Could be wrong of course.

So let me get this right... you stick a client's really old TVC on Facebook Superwall and it is lauded as marketing genius?

Fuck me.

Pure dribble.

If it were one small part of a more comprehensive 'retro' strategy to leverage the brand's history, executed in a creatively executed campaign, then it might be newsworthy.

I agree with the line "It's so hard to have a gaytime on your own" in the ad.

In this case, gaytime is on their own - there are no comments on their youtube post. Clearly has made quite an impact. All the punters are speechless.
