Matt Harding unleashed his dance on the world a few months back which became a viral sensation online. Stride gum also lucked out big time on the dancing matt and his groovy moves. You know a video has truly gone viral when people start spoofing it and start making derivatives of it. Do these videos count toward the impressions of an original campaigns? We think it does. We have tracked over 600 spoofs or clones of Matt’s famous videos in the Scope metrics platform. These 600 or so videos drive the total views of this campaign to over 32 million views across 32 videos sites around the world. The lion share of these uploads go to YouTube (obviously) with over 500 videos on YouTube alone. This campaign is still receiving an average of 40k views on YouTube across all these videos.
