In fact, this form of advertising is by far the most effective at generating traffic and buzz around websites and businesses. As videos are becoming more commonplace in many social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and MySpace, companies have begun to use comedians to create short videos that amuse viewers while conveying their message. Many corporate brands have found great success using this medium to market their company. This article will discuss how Meme creators are leveraging the power of viral marketing in their business promotions.
First, it is important to recognize the common characteristics of all types of memes. All forms of memes share the same basic purpose, which is to provide entertainment and amusement for viewers by combining visual imagery and verbal content to "propagandize" their views. A few of the most popular kinds of social media Memes focus on things like pop culture, video games, food, and/or the human body. If you are interested in exploring the world of Memes, there are three main types you should become familiar with:
Celebrities and Their Pets - Celebrities are constantly using Instagram to update fans on their lives and to encourage consumers to purchase their products. Many celebrities make use of various cultural phenomena and/or superpowers to promote their brand by posting unique or culturally relevant photos on their Instagram pages. Many internet users enjoy using these cultural phenomena as an excuse to crack a joke or make a statement about current events in the world of online social media.
Educational Apps - Many educational apps have become popular over the past several years and are centered around the concepts of studying the human mind and its processes. Many people find this to be an easy and interesting way to share cultural ideas and information with others who may not be familiar with such concepts. Memes may often be referenced within these apps in a humorous or controversial manner. Some examples of such cultural based apps include the Pillow Talk, Learn Chinese, and iPicnic: Niche Lessons.
Viralcomedians - Viral stories are quickly spreading throughout the internet via various forms of social media and viral marketing. Many comedians create videos that mock current events and situations and then allow their followers to spread the content on Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. The nature of the viral nature of such content makes it highly important to understand the best practices associated with creating and spreading such content. While it is easy to generate a joke and have it spread through a number of different types of outlets, if your purpose is to promote a cultural, political, or other widespread idea it is important to remember that certain social media platforms may not support such trends or entertain such ideas due to legal issues.
No matter what the intended audience or the culture of the content is intended to be funny or relevant, it is important to remember that certain types of content are suitable only for certain types of audiences and certain types of situations. The types of audience, a certain idea or cultural trend is suited for will depend entirely on the target demographic of the situation. When it comes to Memes, there are many different genres and approaches to be taken when promoting such content. Understanding the various ways that cultural trends are delivered and shared online can help marketers understand when and if certain types of content are suitable for particular audiences.
