As a digital marketing agency, we\u2019re quite attuned to having our eyes and ears open to the disruptions, trends, and fads that catch the fancy of the World Wide Web!<\/p>\n

And when you\u2019re talking about an entity that boasts of 4,000 variants of it being uploaded on YouTube every single day, there\u2019s no way you can\u2019t notice!<\/p>\n

Yes! We\u2019re talking about the Harlem Shake, an internet fad that recently went viral. You can read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So we did the obvious! Created our own version of it!<\/p>\n

\"Ethinos<\/a><\/p>\n

And then we went a step ahead to analyse the Harlem Shake mania and identify 5 important social media marketing<\/a> lessons it has.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. People will do what you want them to as long as they\u2019re enjoying it<\/span> \u2013 The funny expressions and visible enthusiasm in the videos is proof<\/li>\n
  2. Language, location, culture may differ; but emotions transcend those barriers<\/span> \u2013 There are Harlem Shake videos being created and uploaded all around the world<\/li>\n
  3. A tangible incentive is not a necessary prerequisite to generate interactio<\/span>n \u2013 The only incentive to create a Harlem Shake video is the 30 seconds (literally) of fame and laughs it brings about<\/li>\n
  4. The simpler your desired response, the higher is the number of responses you\u2019ll receive<\/span> \u2013 The Harlem Shake video can be created and uploaded in less than 15 minutes using a mobile phone that\u2019s equipped with a video camera<\/li>\n
  5. People love to be surprised<\/span> \u2013 No one expected the hype surrounding the Harlem Shake, but everyone joined the fun; right from Barack Obama<\/a> to apparently even machines<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How far the hype goes and how long before the Harlem Shake mania slows down is something that waits to be seen; and while that happens we\u2019re wondering what the World Wide Web will throw up next! Any thoughts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
