SINGAPORE, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- A YouTube video titled "Marvel's The Avengers Puppies" by a Singapore student featuring puppies with human hands dressed up in Captain America and Thor costumes has gone viral with more than 500,000 views in less than 5 days.
The video was filmed, directed and uploaded by Tay Guo En, a Singapore undergraduate student waiting for his admission into Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). The viral video stars his national service buddies Gary Koh Zhi Wei, Kenneth Leong Jian Wei, as well as a Spitz called "Fluffy" and a Shetland Sheep Dog named "Echo".
"Honestly, my only objective was to create something quirky to make people laugh and smile. I came across a video titled 'Bizzle gets some Dunkers' on YouTube and came up with the idea of creating my own human dog in superhero costumes that was in line with the launch of the movie 'The Avengers'. This required a lot of work, but was relatively inexpensive to put together. Plus, it was a lot of fun!" explained Guo En.
Guo En, who is interning at Conversion Hub, was assigned a budget of less than S$1,000 to put this entire video together. The video was part of a social media campaign for Asia Food Recipe, which is a food recipe website that focuses on Asian cooking recipes.
Joel Fu, Principal Consultant at Conversion Hub and Digital Advisor to DMAS (Direct Marketing Association of Singapore), commented on the need for marketing campaigns to have a viral element built into it, "To remain relevant in an increasingly competitive online landscape, digital marketing campaigns need to be on the edge with a high propensity to go viral. By going viral, a company can use media placement for an initial snowball, then rely on social media to provide an avalanche."
The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. As of now, the video has only been online for less than 5 days and has garnered over 500,000 views.
