viral marketing

Regular Chinwaggers and viral boffins, Rubber Republic have put together a hefty and rather brilliant compilation of the this year's top viral marketing campaigns measured across their Viral Ad Network.

The analysis reveals Facebook's growing influence in the social media world providing a more effective and longer-lasting mechanism for sharing content, whilst Twitter's high-volume stream lends itself to geekier fare.

The BIMA Awards 2009 have rolled around again, with the presentations taking place on 19th Nov.

The awards celebrate the innovative work of UK digital companies and this year has seen a record number of agencies applying.

The Shortlist has just been announced showcasing some of the UK's brightest digital talent and, the good news, there are still a few precious tickets left.

Categories range from display and interactive advertising, online games, mobile to social media and word of mouth marketing. Those companies lucky enough to be shortlisted are some of the best the UK digital sector has to offer and with the BBC iPlayer in the best website section, T-Mobile's "Life is for Living" in the viral seeding category and the MINI Convertible launch up for an e-mail marketing award they are some of the most memorable campaigns from the last year too.
