2012: Viral Commercial Brings Mainstream Attention

Nick Butler Nick Butler, August 26, 2009September 9, 2009

I was watching Ghost Hunters when an commercial for TheIHC.com came up. I was quite surprised, to say the least. It’s very well done, the only thing I have against it is the fact they flash Colombia and the “FILM NOT YET RATED” logos, but it’s only for a few seconds.

It appeared a few days ago, but this is the first I’ve seen it. I’m guessing with the success that the District 9 viral had, Sony has invested more money into viral techniques.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a commercial for a in-game viral website, so Sony is taking a big leap as well as a big risk. But, they link all the websites together, so the new “players” will know right away it was for 2012.

Advocate for Scott Caldwell in the race for post-2012 world leader!

    “This is the first time I’ve ever seen a commercial for a in-game viral website…” then you must not watch LOST on ABC, where they’ve run ads for The Hanso Foundation and Ajira Airways in the past

    I don’t watch Lost, but now that you say that, I stand corrected. I remember seeing those ads. I suppose I should have said “in-game viral website for a film.”
