The



Motto
Virality in one equation

Shareability       Clickability
   of the
  content
               x      of the
                   packaging
                                  =   Virality
Virality in one equation

Shareability       Clickability
   of the
  content
               x      of the
                   packaging
                                  =    Virality




                           Way easier to optimize
