Intel Core i7 Viral Videos – “Puzzle Bobble” & “Tetris”

Submitted by jason.zhanjia on Wednesday, 6 May 2009 Comments

Few days ago, I wrote a post about Nokia’s latest viral videos by magician Liu Qian. Similar as Nokia, other IT/digital companies are never unfamiliar with Internet, gaming, and viral marketing.

Last week, I watched Intel’s latest viral videos for its Core 2 Quad processor through Youku Buzz. This series of video, under the slogan “If Youâ€™re Going to Play, Play Big”, is pretty funny. The theme is about some classical video games, which is highly relevant to Intel’s current marketing efforts on the gaming.

The first one is the Japanese game Puzzle Bobble (ãƒ‘ã‚ºãƒ«ãƒœãƒ–ãƒ«)

The second one is the Russian game Tetris (Ð¢ÐµÑ‚Ñ€Ð¸Ñ)

EYES ON ME: Monthly Highlight of China Viral Video (Dec 2009)

EYES ON ME is a post series on IN2marcom. It is a monthly highlight of popular Chinese viral brand videos in the period. A viral video is a video clip that gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email or instant messaging, blogs and other media sharing websites.

In December, automobile brands were still the major players, as well as FMCG brands. I’m very excited to see more and more domestic brands like Chery, Harbin Beer, and Zhonghua Toothpaste started investing in viral marketing and presented very cool video clips. 2010 is the year of Expo and World Cup, so Coca-Cola and Adidas delivered relevant videos respectively at the end of 2009…….

Consumers Laugh At China Unicom’s “Castrated” iPhone

On 30th October, along with a high-profile event in Beijing and 30 ceremonies in major cities, China Unicom started selling iPhones equipped for 3G service officially at 2,000 stores nationwide.

Without a key feature of WiFi connectivity and at higher prices than widely available black market models, China Unicom’s iPhones are absolutely not able to satisfy Chinese consumers. As a result, it is ridiculed as a “Castrated iPhone”. I came across this cartoon last night. It is a classic visualization of such satire……
