Viral and Seeding

Viral and Seeding
What is ‘viral’?

Viral spread occurs when your audience voluntarily shares your brand’s message in their social networks.

This can occur via email forwarding, link sharing, social bookmarking, or plain old word-of-mouth.

What is seeding?

Seeding is LAVA's specialty and what makes good campaigns great. In a nutshell, we place your content (whether video or a micro-site URL) in front of your audience, engaging them at the exact point in time when they are looking for something interesting, something fresh.

So how do we take your campaign ‘viral’?

Any great content can go ‘viral’, right? Well... sometimes. Amongst the thousands of videos and micro-sites out there, it's a real challenge for your target audience to find you.

So you need to find them.

That’s where LAVA's years of experience make it simple for your content to reach your audience.

LAVA’s competitive advantage

LAVA has seeded campaigns generating over 200 million views across thousands of websites for the world's leading brands. We provide a strategic understanding of what works best - a result of extensive analysis of every campaign and every site we've published on.

 

LAVA's leadership in viral distribution allows us to negotiate the best rates and premium placement with the web's top publishers, delivering an excellent return-on-investment. Our access to and relationship with high-value advertising and publishing networks ensures strong views for any content.

Will you marry me?

At LAVA we understand that brands don't just want to reach their audience.

They want to engage with their audience.

That's why – at LAVA – our trained chimps are continuously experimenting with and analysing different sources of traffic to find which work best...

...to take you to your audience ... and to bring your audience to you.

Sowing the Seeds of Love... (or How do we do it?)

LAVA seeds your video content or micro-site URL – we call it branded entertainment – into:

  • social networks;
  • entertainment and video sites;
  • search engines; and
  • forums, blogs and advertorials.

This is where your audience is.

Geo-targeting is cool
