Viral Marketing Strategies

The Viral Goal

Viral marketing aims to create content that spreads rapidly through social sharing and word-of-mouth. While you cannot guarantee virality, you can design campaigns with viral characteristics.

Viral Elements

Emotional Trigger: Content that evokes strong emotions spreads faster.

Share Value: Content that makes the sharer look good to their network.

Participation Easy: Simple, clear calls to action encourage sharing.

Execution Strategy

Design for your target audience is preferences and platform behaviors. Make sharing frictionless with pre-written messages and hashtags. Monitor and amplify viral content when it starts spreading.
