PM Video Battle: Ariel Premium Supply Versus Promotions Now

Video Marketing,

Promo Marketing’s Video Battle pits two industry videos against each other for the chance at the ultimate bragging right: Being declared our readership’s absolute favorite. (Next up: We hear LeBron might be interested in coming to the Sixers. I guess that means there’s no room for me on the team.)

Last week, Ariel Premium Supply won, and now will face off against Promotions Now.

The winner will be decided by a simple poll. The poll will close the morning of Friday, July 28, the same day a new challenge will start.

Companies whose videos win for four weeks in a row will be retired to the Video Battle Hall of Fame and General Awesomeness, forever enshrined in internet glory.

The Promo Marketing Video Battle is brought to you by SnugZ USA.
