Business Mashups does everything right. It maximizes the entertainment value of social media and succeeds in generating large-scale awareness and lead generation on a minimal budget. The first

which tripled Serena.com traffic, and significantly increased the company's leads. The follow-up video, "Go @#$% Yourself," generated more than 1.7 million views and drove more than 8,000
people to the Serena Web site, resulting in a .7 percent response rate. Add in a Facebook group, banner and application blitz, and you've got yourself an integrated campaign like none other.
