I get requests from various PR agencies everyday asking me to viral market their promotion. Normally I do not accept their request as they are wanting me to promote their contest or sweepstakes for free. To be blunt, I do not have spare time to spend hours doing someone else’s job for them. Instead, I thank them, send them my services documentation, ask them what they would like to hire me for. I usually don’t hear back.
Since I started working at the ad agency, I get exposed to promotions as the creative process happens, before they launch, and as they unfold. I found it interesting that I got contacted to promote Trident in the U.S. when our ad agency is promoting Trident in Canada. So I couldn’t resist blogging about this contest.
The PR agency contacted me in hopes of drumming up voters next week. I am blogging about this contest today as there are only 3 entries and you could win up to $15,000! So I am encouraging you, if you have any talent what-so-ever creating videos, enter by Saturday July 21st. I know it’s short notice, but the odds are fantastic.
CONTEST PAGE: http://genero.tv/seewhatunfolds/
OFFICIAL RULES: http://genero.tv/seewhatunfolds-terms-and-conditions/ (Open worldwide!)
You can vote next week if you wish, but there are no voter prizes. (More companies need to involve me in the creative process!!)
ENJOY, GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN!!

Interesting, but also I’m very glad to be back on your email list again, after a long time (I don’t know if other have written to you informing you of this!).
Hi I just read through the rules and was wondering if the contest is open to Canadians? Thanks.
The PR company was promoting the contest in the U.S., however when I read the rules, there did not seem to be a statement limiting eligibility.
