After reading an article about viral videos on Contently’s blog today, I was stuck for hours in an air of agreement with the posts author. 

I know it’s nearly impossible to just “make” a viral video at will, but almost all videos with monster share rates follow at least one simple feature: They connect on a human level through the power of storytelling. 

Just think of Old Spice’s recent campaign. One of the most successful to date actually. It created a story that the world couldn’t help but fall in love with. The hulkified Isiah Mustafa with alien-like qualities that smells better than you or anyone you know every will. 

Each commercial was mapped out with the same style of humor; the outrageous quirkiness that made both the commercials and the characters fucking hilarious for months after the campaigns release. 

The same thing goes for the Dollar Shave Club commercial posted above. While the production of this Dollar Shave video is quite similar to that of the Old Spice spots, it follows a very different story: one of a young guy who wants you to spend $1 a month to get razors from him because doing it any other way is completely aburd. 

Do you see the correlation? Every brand, every cause, every idea has a story. When that story is represented in video format and connects on a uber-human level, there’s no chance it won’t be shared. 

And reaching that uber-human level doesn’t have to be done solely through comedy. 

Viral videos can be emotionally raw and sensory stimulating like the Kony video.

And they can burst with positivity to the point of teardrops like Michael Lazerow’s video discussing his life leading up to his $600 million+ sale of Buddy Media to Salesforce. 

Regardless of what emotion is being appealed too, it’s a human emotion. And that means that marketers spending hard earned time and green to create viral videos should take a step back from the case studies and data. And instead take a deep look into the story they’re telling and the people they want to tell it to. 

That’s when marketing is truly great.
