The key to great viral marketing on the a Web 2.0 platform is to distinguish its methodology as fundamentally different from the classical marketing approaches. Whilst a certain degree of planning and a pre-roll strategy is required a truly effective viral campaign requires a lightness of foot and the ability to react quickly to trending and push your profile ahead in the crush.

Our approach relies on experienced marketeers and daring designers to get names noticed alongside big topics in the relevant marketplace. Paid ads on Facebook have their place for sure, but serve only to reaffirm and bolster the identity in synchrony with the pulse marketing efforts on the grass root discussion layer.

Pulse marketing relies heavily on a constant observation of the relevant arenas in which the key influencers of the market reside and an ability to adeptly manage the ‘unsaid’ profile of your business within the arena. Many businesses adopt a viral or social marketing strategy as relatively inexpensive alternative to a mainstream campaign but more often than not the initial enthusiasm and emphasis of the campaign wanes after a short time. Great viral and social marketing requires a dedicated long-term strategy that maintains focus and is able to accurately identify stream opportunities and effectively exploit them promptly.

It is difficult for an SME owner or executive team to manage a viral or social campaign internally as the business of doing business comes first and remains the key priority. Often a boost in profile as a result of an online viral/social marketing campaign can worsen the situation as the increase in activity pushes the campaigns goals and implementation further to the background, which can on occasion undo the positive boost realized by the early campaign by making the business appear to disappear.
