Chiefette’s pick – Top viral videos of 2009
As everyone winds down to the Christmas holidays and looking for any excuse not to do any work, I’m sharing my favourite video picks for the year. Enjoy!
Best social media viral video
Fabulous message, stirring soundtrack and smart visuals… I play this at the beginning of our social media training days.
Best staff sing along
Don’t you wish your Friday night drinks were as inspired and fun as this?
Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo.
Best chuckle of the year (and feels Xmas-y too)
My Dad, an ex-farmer even enjoyed this one and sent it viral. (According to the reporter on MSN Video, the farmer says he received help from his well-trained sheepdog)
Best example of a viral video
This is a fun video – for Volkswagon, without a car in sight. I love it when advertisements aren’t all ‘we’re so amazing, buy me’.
Best love story video
I’m a romantic and I watched all 12 minutes of this to see if the guy got the gal. Fabulous.
Best thought provoking video
I don’t ‘do’ Xmas shopping. I don’t even own a TV. Here’s why.

Best New Zealand video
I’m a kiwi. The making of this vid is worth checking out too.
Best social media love song
Love for the 2000’s – social media style. A cute ditty.
Another classic viral video
What guys do when they’re bored? Or a stealth brand campaign? (what brand comes to mind when you watch this?)
Best customer strikes back video
Cleverly crafted, with just the right balance of jocularity and outrage, this video got the attention of the airline, who took the message on board.
What has been your favourite video of the year?
