Discover Boating’s “Good Run” made into e-card
CHICAGO – General Motors is sponsoring Discover Boating’s “Good Run” short film as a Father’s Day e-card on AmericanGreetings.com, Grow Boating said in a press release Tuesday.

Several AmericanGreetings.com partner sites will also offer the Good Run e-card as an option during the same time period, including: BlueMountain.com, EGreetings.com, Yahoo Greetings, AOL Greetings and MSN Greetings.
“Good Run” was the centerpiece of Discover Boating’s 2007 viral marketing campaign. The film took home three w3 Awards in 2007, which recognize the creative excellence of marketing professionals behind award-winning websites, marketing programs and video work created for the Internet.
