Viral Spiral - Marketing YouTube Videos

December 10, 2012

British company Viral Spiral has specialized in the professional marketing of videos on the Net. The marketing experts turn these viral videos, which are often of babies or animals, into ads or even TV series. Many of the videos on YouTube become so famous and popular that their makers can earn money with them beyond cyberspace. Still, it's almost impossible for amateur filmmakers to get copyright protection for their material. Viral Spiral recognized this business opportunity and now markets some 4500 YouTube videos, including hits like "Charlie Bit My Finger - Again!" and "The Sneezing Baby Panda”.
