Viral Marketing #10

The emergence of the internet and technology in general has had a major effect on several fields, and marketing is not exempt from this. Viral marketing emerged in 1995 with inspiration from viruses in the 90s. Viral marketing has become something that we encounter nearly everyday with platforms such as youtube and email. A major player in this is also the popularity of social networks. Anytime you go on your facebook, twitter, or instagram feed you are almost certainly going to scroll over some ads and marketing techniques. Viral marketing has become so common that in our day to day lives we do not even realize when we are seeing it anymore. It has become a major part of marketing and business for big and small companies.
