Vodafone Viral - Subtle and clearly effective

Want to change a Blackberry Storm into a steering mechanism for a radio controlled car? Easy. This is a viral for Vodafone tapping into the Lewis Hamilton factor.

It's done in the form of a story that the 'RC Guys' posted their Office Grand Prix on You Tube and were invited to join the Vodafone Formula 1 team in the pit, and it's pretty believable if you don't realise the original video isn't on You Tube and that at least one of the guys, who I have met, is a TV presenter and all-round entertainer.

Having said that it is clearly hitting home, with over 300,000 views in under a week, and is a good example of tying in sponsorships and the like into viral activity and really making all your assets work together.
