Make It Count - Nike Viral Video

One more interesting viral video to analyze and learn from it.

This is a story about Nike hiring two guys, Casey Neistat and Max Joseph, to make for them an advertisement for the Nike FuelBand (an athletic-performance tracking device). Deal was simple, Nike was giving some money to those guys and they should come out with a a killer spot highlighting the slogan, "Make It Count."

Well,... things went a bit different.  Instead of producing the agreed-upon treatment showing how everyday people are making their lives count, Neistat and Joseph took the money and ran -- right around the globe.

For 10 days they circled the globe having one mammoth adventure until the entire stash ("It was a lot of money," is all the guys will cop to) ran out.
The pair racked up 34,000 miles, dropped in on three continents, 13 countries and 16 cities. The result is a "Make It Count" travel video diary that's gone viral.
