As many of you know, we setup a geek marketing contest a while ago where anyone could submit an idea, a video, image or anything that might have some kind of viral effect to help Axosoft get some unusual marketing exposure.  We had more than 60 submissions to the Geek Marketing Contest.

However, one of the submissions by Dan Lamoureux and MC Router, stands above the rest.  It's a fun video called "Buggin' Out!" that the two worked on as an entry for the Axosoft Geek Marketing contest.  Immediately, the viral effect of the video could be seen.  Within days, the video had several thousand views.  But it got even more interesting when YouTube featured the Buggin' Out video on their home page.  Buggin' Out! now has over 200,000 views rivaling main-stream TV commercials in terms of exposure!  That is exactly the type of thing we were hoping to accomplish with the Geek Marketing Contest.  A relatively low-cost way to reach an unusual audience through a viral message.  Take a look at the video or click here to see it on YouTube.

So I'm excited to announce that Dan Lamoureux and MC Router have been selected as the winner of the $5,000 prize from our Geek Marketing contest.  Here's a picture of the two of them together:

Congratulations!!!  You guys did an excellent job!

One other thing worth mentioning, Dan Lamoureux is behind NerdCore For Life, and they are making a documentary about "Nerds, Geeks, Dorks and the Hip-Hop They Make".  The trailer for the documentary looks excellent:

Looking forward to the finished movie!
