Shaggy Dogs and Life-Saving Hashtags: 6 Branded Vines You Should Watch Right Now

With more than 40 million highly-engaged users, Vine holds a lot of sway for brands looking to do something different with their marketing efforts.

However, with a tidal wave of short-form content engulfing the Open Web, it’s not always easy to find the best of the bunch. So if you’re looking for quality inspiration, you’re in safe hands here. In just 36 short seconds, you’ll know which brands are doing Vine just right.

In this week’s round-up we have a shopping extravaganza, a stop motion road map and a laptop-smashing session.

Enjoy!

6. AT&T

To discourage the dangerous habit of texting while driving, the It Can Wait campaign from AT&T has advocated for teens to type #X in conversations before getting behind the wheel. With strong endorsements from the likes of singer Demi Lovato and pro Viner Nick Confalone in this amusingly anachronistic example, the youth-oriented, social media savvy movement has been wise to drive the conversation on the Vine platform.

5. BMW

Shopaholics will rejoice with this video from stop-motion wizard GentlemanJACK, who shows us some superb trunk Tetris in the latest installment of the #BMWiCanDotThat series.
 

4. Chrysler Autos 

In another stop motion mini-masterpiece, pro Viner Dylan Blau demonstrates the mapping features of the new Chrysler 200. It sure looks good on paper, and we’ll bet it works in the real world too.

3. Samsung UK

Advertising their new line of vacuums, Samsung UK tells yet another shaggy dog story; hair today, gone tomorrow.

 2. Social Media Week

Celebrating Social Media Week‘s London events, pro Viner Yves Das infuses this colourful short-form video with his distinctive creative touch.

1. HP

Recalling a memorable scene from the 1990’s cult classic Office Space, Viner Matt Cutshall turns on his old laptop after upgrading to the flexible HP x360.
