– An event or activity that generates publicity, excitement, and information to the consumer. – It's usually something that combines a wacky, jaw-dropping event or experience with pure branding, like tattooing your forehead. – If buzz is done right, people will write about it, so it essentially becomes a great PR vehicle. – Buzz marketing typically includes one shot of adrenaline and a chaser of product information. – Example: http://www.subservientchicken.com

Viral Marketing
– An attempt to deliver a marketing message that spreads quickly and exponentially among consumers. – Today, this often comes in the form of an email message or video. – Contrary to alarmists' fear, viral isn't evil. It isn't dishonest or unnatural. – At its best, it is word of mouth enabled, and at its worst, it's just another interruptive marketing message. – Example: http://www.virginmobile.com “Richard Branson is naked”
