Thanks to Bill Fielding for pointing out this spoof video (in the version he sent me, he was the surprise candidate). It is a brilliant form of promotion for Paltalk, the interactive video chat service, which produced the video. They weave elements of their service together with their talent to create an entertaining and almost believable piece. It is an excellent form of viral marketing, as it relatively low-cost, encourages interaction and is unique in its freshness and creativeness.
Joel Smernoff, President and COO of Paltalk reports that, as of September 3rd, the above video campaign has 7+ million views in 8+ weeks.
