Viral Ad Network

Whoooah!  Team VAN are finally back from a v.fun trip to the SXSW festival in Austin + a mini (VAN) tour of the states.
SXSW was a fully inspirational experience – full of the weird + wonderful + generally futuristic.
Possibly the most interesting thing I saw came from the Dorkbot session – where Bre Pettis demo-ed his latest invention is the “Makerbot“, a 3-D printing device that allows you to literally print stuff.  That’s right – you draw it, it prints it.  For example, Bre told a story about how a guy was due to referee at his son’s football match and realised he didn’t have a whistle – so, using Makerbot he printed out a whistle in a couple of hours.  That’s right – he actually printed out a working whistle.  Fricking awesome.

I was also pretty blown away by Arcattack’s mind-bending Tesla Coil musical extravaganza which was kinda like a musical electric storm.

Check out photos below – including Arcattack, Ally and his Ice Cream VAN and our super-rad VAN meme badges . . .

We have worked on many viral campaigns in the past, helping the creators of digital content get their viral videos and games amplified and seen by millions.

The proposition of the Viral Ad Network is a pretty simple one. We get your viral content, make it compatible with our network, then target it to the most relevant viewers in our audience for their enjoyment and consumption. We then pay our publishers for each time an engagement is made by a user on their site.

Below is a little tale of a campaign we worked on with our friends Cosmic Station & Associates to help launch the video assets that accompanied a wider PR campaign for the launch of the LG Crystal Mobile last year.

The presentation exemplifies how VAN works to launch, execute and report on your campaign and the type of results that can be achieved from a potent mix of good content and effective distribution.

Take a look, add a flake and pass around to your pals who have ace content. We’ll help give it an audience:
