Please Let This Be the Last Time We Have to Define ‘Viral’

Dear Adrants,

This is a viral we have done recently in poor little Budapest, Hungary.
I hope you will like it.

Dear Attila,

This is not a viral. Viral is a result. Viral is a video (or any other piece of marketing) that, because people find it interesting, gets forwarded to others. Only until that happens (a lot), does something earn the label “viral.”

Best,
