Details
Hi Gluggers,
These days everyone wants a viral, right? Marketing managers up and down the country are now looking for the creative agency with a magic wand to turn their relatively small number of pounds into millions of eyeballs.
Well, we're not sure about magic wands but if you're looking for viral magic then you should probably talk to The Viral Factory, the hosts of this months Glug.

We also think one simple statistic helps to summarise their work = 1.5 billion views.
Nice.
