THIS WISEWIT WAS OPEN FOR ... 24 Days + 00:00:00

Get your best WISEOZ game face on!  Wii KILLED THE VIDEO STAR and it's coming after you next! 

This is your big opportunity to create and execute you very own viral marketing stunt for WISEOZ.  You will have just 6 weeks and nothing more than your good looks and personal prowess.   The possibilities are limitless when it comes to viral marketing.  There's the infamous YouTube videos, appealing to your local television station for a feature story, blanketing Starbucks bulletin boards, and much much more.  With whatever viral stunt you chose, please apply basic common sense!  Do not hurt yourself or damage anything or anyone else for that matter.  Duh!

To assist you in your viral stunt, we are offering to all participants a one-time critique of your idea before you execute on it.  We will offer as much insight and artistic direction as you'd like as part of that critique.  Use the contact form to let us know when you're ready for your idea to be critiqued.

For this WiseWit, prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.   This is a judged competition so there is no possibility of a tie.  All submissions will be judged and winners determined based on the following factors:

  • Creativity ... To what degree did you think outside the box?
  • Quality ... Does your stunt represent WISEOZ in a positive light?  Did you do produce a good quality product?
  • Entertainment Value ... Was it funny?  Was it entertaining?  Was it well received by your intended audience?
  • Effectiveness & Impact ... How far and wide did the message travel? Did your stunt generate media attention?  Did it result in increased hits or new members to WISEOZ?

Click COUNT ME IN! to sign-up to participate in this WiseWit.  Click the GOT IT! button to provide the details of your viral stunt upon execution.  It is up to you to provide evidence of your viral stunt (links, witnesses, video, photographs, etc.).  Keep in mind that if we can't experience it through the evidence you provide, then we have no way of judging it.

Please note that no standings will be published during the duration of this WiseWit.  However, status and commentary of your viral stunts may be published to keep the WISEOZ community informed.  And, here's the kicker, feel free to create and execute multiple viral stunts and/or work with other members in your attempt to win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.
