Creating a new showcase

Among the new YouTube Show & Tell content in the Viral Hits section this quarter is a spotlight on Dynomighty Design (www.dynomighty.com/), a small Brooklyn-based business that designs a range of lifestyle products including patented link-less magnetic jewellery. As a start-up with little to spend on marketing, Dynomighty invested almost exclusively in creating YouTube videos that demonstrate the uniqueness and versatility of the magnetic jewellery. The firm's first video can be viewed here at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf3z935R37E); for more information, click here.

"It's exciting to see such a wide range of clients represented here on Show & Tell, from the world's largest marketers to small start-ups like Dynomighty," said Doug Jaeger, ADC president. "We have worked closely with YouTube to create a new showcase for how a diverse group of smart marketers and their agencies are using YouTube to effectively generate buzz, build brands and grow business."
