The brands which know secrets of viral advertising win people’s hearts. This year, the range of public favorites included know-all Isaiah Mustafa holding a bottle of Old Spice shower gel, a guy in Levi’s jeans who embarked on a trip across America, sport celebrities commissioned by Nike to star in spots about their future and many more. Let’s look back to explore which videos, to our mind, were the most contagious this year.

An exciting augmented reality limited edition bottle from the makers of Smirnoff vodka is giving consumers the opportunity to take part in a unique virtual experience.  This limited edition is more than just a cool bottle—when activated you see your bottle of Smirnoff on your computer screen or smartphone and an amazing animated party scene comes to life out of the bottle.

Smirnoff® is launching a new reality television show, Master of the Mix. In a quest to crown the hottest DJ in the world, Master of the Mix is hosting multiple DJs in cities throughout the world to determine the ultimate mix master. Hosted by Grammy nominated producer/DJ, Just Blaze, and world famous DJ, Kid Capri, the show will pit the world’s most prominent DJs against each other in head-to-head competition.

Smirnoff© unveiled its global campaign, “The Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project.”  Continuing on a mission to inspire and enable more one-of-a-kind experiences, this bold attempt will see 14 countries work with respected nightlife figures to discover and celebrate the best elements of their country’s nightlife. These ideas will be captured online, packed-up in a crate and transformed into exciting event experiences. In an epic finale on November 27, the world will swap nights, with each country exchanging the best of their nightlife with that of another.
