Virgin Mobile Reveals Aussie Viral Campaign Details

jdprofile.jpg

Virgin Mobile in Australia has summed up a recent viral campaign involving a fake soapstar, Jason Donovan. There’s a long and involved story about how Donovan was trying to sell his Range Rover by placing a For Sale sign, which contained his cell phone number, in the window of the SUV, how a photo of Donovan, his vehicle and his cell phone number was taken, how he was harassed by callers, how Virgim Mobile got involved and how the whole thing turned into one big viral. It’s the only time we’ve ever seen a company publicly lay bare all the details of one of its viral campaigns. It’s insightful and refreshing. Though, sadly, we have no explanation for the woman in the upper right hand corner of the site who looks like she’s having a killer orgasm.
