Goviral has released its top 10 most viral videos of the month.
As always, this month’s collection is awesome, providing marketers and entrepreneurs with ideas to maximize their social media campaigns.
My favorite this month is National Geographic’s ‘Deadly Predator’.
What’s yours?
1. Activasion – Skateboard Dog
This video is obviously fake but it has definitely caught the attention of many. It was posted on a number of blogs that were highly related to video gaming. In a month, more than 1,150,000 people have watched the clip and about 1,400 comments were posted.

2. National Geographic – Deadly Predator
Paul Nicklen describes his most amazing experience as a National Geographic photographer – coming face-to-face with one of Antarctica’s most vicious predators, a leopard seal.
3. New Zealand Book Council – Going West
To help people pick up a reading habit, the video makers created paper cut animations based on Maurice Gee’s novel, “Going West”. The idea was to arouse interest by first making this classic New Zealand novel come to life through hand cut ‘pop up’ scenery.

4. Victoria’s Secret – One Gift
This sexy Victoria’s Secret ad, which was directed by Michael Bay has created quite some buzz in just a week.
5. Plane Stupid – Polar Bears
The ad aims to educate people about the impact of short-haul flights on the climate. The Polar Bears are victims of our actions and their premature deaths reflect the effect of climate change on the natural world.
6. Intel – Cannonbells
The people at Intel Finland decided to create the world’s biggest Intel chime. Pretty impressive.
