New York, NYC – April 28, 2011 – MediaMind Technologies Inc. today announced that MediaCom, Feref, Universal Pictures and MediaMind have teamed up to deliver a wildly entertaining brand experience on YouTube to promote the opening of Fast and Furious 5 in movie cinemas across Europe, Australia and Mexico.
With this latest campaign, YouTube viewers feel the impact of every crash as the screen shakes and moves in sync with the action, and vehicles race in and out of the trailer window.

The gadget will be shown initially through takeovers on the YouTube homepage in 8 markets, which social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter utilized to increase the viral impact of the campaign. The trailer also includes 16 videos from previous Fast and Furious films to promote the back catalogue of Fast & Furious 1-4, and an external link to a driving game to drive further engagement.
