Description answer

What this usually means

A viral campaign should be measured through share rate, secondary reach, traffic, brand search lift, subscriber or lead capture, and how much attention turned into meaningful business behavior after the spike.

Some campaigns look huge in-platform but create very little lasting value. Others create moderate reach but strong audience growth or business response. That is why the measurement model needs to go past headline view numbers.

Think It Digital can help define viral-campaign success around both attention and conversion value so the business learns what kind of reach is worth repeating.
