If someone were to tell a major company fifty years ago that it didn’t have to send out salesmen knocking from door to door to sell its product to American housewives, or plaster up immense billboards all over major cities to gain visibility, but instead, that it could make a short video that could potentially become a visual sensation and spread over a million views in less than 24 hours, I’m sure the idea would sound remotely science fiction-y. Well, in just half a decade, a lot has changed. Video advertising is already becoming the next Facebook.

Gone are the days where direct sales or door-to-door advertising takes the front stage.
