Marketing - Media / Multimedia

English term or phrase: Viral video

Företaget jag jobbar för har framställt några 'viral videos' - korta filmer som ska laddas upp på YouTube.

Vet någon om begreppet 'viralvideo' förekommer på svenska, eller passar det bättre att översätta det till 'virusvideo' (jag antar att termen syftar på att kortfilmer av det här slaget sprider sig som ett virus på Internet)?

Tusen tack

Of course, loads of concepts in the fields of marketing and the media, are labeled with English words across the whole world, but this is the case when one doesn't have to go far for an adequate Swedish translation. And it's not that I'm trying to coin my own term, it seems to be widely used on the web. (and what can a better place to search for a web-related term than the web itself? :-))

viral video film som utnyttjar viruseffekten

Explanation:
ett lite längre förslag, om det kan passa i sammanhanget. Viral marketing = viruseffekten, dvs. det faktum att något sprider sig/marknadsför sig själv genom att användarna marknadsför den aktuella tjänsten/produkten osv.

Example sentence(s):

Viruseffekten (viral marketing) i sin snävaste definition innebär att användarna marknadsför tjänsten när de använder den ...
Folk som sett aktiviteten brukar berätta för andra vad de har upplevt. Det ger en viruseffekt som sprider ditt budskap.
