Four of top 10 August viral videos feature animals

Four of the Top 10 Viral Videos for August featured animals – including Angry Birds and Kia’s fabulous dancing hamsters, above. Since Kia put on YouTube on August 25th, the Hamsters have had 1,119,728 million views, so far.

I certainly never thought I’d run a car ad (without getting paid) in Pawfun Blog! But everything about the KIA Dancing Hamsters ad is great. And the car looks pretty cool too. The ad manages to appeal to everyone, which is no mean feat in our niched, media saturated world.

The original Dancing Hamsters, circa 1998, were one of the Internet’s first memes. It became a joke in offices across the world to set a colleague’s homepage to the Dancing Hamsters. But that was back when generating word of mouth was easy. These days, it’s not, as any hard-working marketer can tell you.
