George has recently introduced cutting-edge strategies in viral marketing that experts are predicting to be the wave of the future.  Called the “Viral Marketing Sensation of the Year” the “Will it Blend” marketing campaign has delivered tens of millions of views worldwide in under six weeks for a small blender company – and the numbers continue to build at an impressive rate.

George will be discussing how viral marketing can be a cost effective way for small businesses to achieve unprecedented awareness at a minimal cost.  The advance of YouTube, Revver, and other user based content sites provide new and innovative ways for companies to promote messaging, products and brand awareness.
