LONDON, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Unruly Media, the UK's leading exponent of viral video marketing, announced today the opening of Unruly France, to be based in Paris and headed up by newly-appointed French MD, Dorota Smaggia.
Unruly Media are no strangers to French campaigns and were instrumental in seeding the spectacularly successful Evian Roller Babies campaign, created by BETC EuroRSCG, Paris. This campaign entered the record books as the most viewed online advertisement ever, and was a globally feted viral campaign in 2009.
Scott Button, CEO of Unruly Media, believes that viral advertising is poised for exponential growth in France this year: "So much strong work came out of France in 2009 and the social media landscape is so vibrant that France was the obvious next market for us. With 4 years' campaign data behind us and strong relationships in the French blogosphere, we expect to catalyse the French viral advertising market in 2010."
Dorota Smaggia, newly-appointed French MD, also believes that this is the perfect time for Unruly to be offering social advertising services to a French market. "Recent metrics reveal that online video consumption surged 141% in France over 2009. There's a huge opportunity for brands wanting to create video content and engage consumers in meaningful conversations."
