Viral marketing game
• Viral marketing works where the message is passed on from
person to person.
• Many viral marketing means use web based games.
• CCMS has developed one around a careers fair.
• Students pick a character. The aim is to collect as many points at
the careers fair before you are caught by the porter!
• It is available in two forms
– A game that can simply be embedded in your website (to attract
students)
– Or a version that allows students to email their score and a link to the
site to a friend.
• Further details and installation instructions are on the Google
Group
