pan>)--Orabrush, Inc. today announced its YouTube channel www.youtube.com/curebadbreath
has surpassed 50 million total channel views. The companys rapid
online ascension has enabled its high-energy, offbeat YouTube videos to
collectively garner more channel views than some of the worlds most

“Bad Breath Test
How to Tell When Your Breath Stinks”
Online video is the core of our reverse marketing model, which uniquely
generates awareness and demand for a product online first and translates
to sales in a retail setting, said Jeff Davis, CEO of Orabrush. Our
success on YouTube has propelled sales of millions of tongue cleaners,
completion of a Series A funding round and distribution partnerships in
more than 30,000 retail stores worldwide. With 72 hours of video
uploaded to YouTube every minute, it is a testament to our marketing and
creative team that we have been able to excel in such a crowded field.
For eight years,inventor Robert Wagstaff Dr. Bob was unable to find a
consumer base for his tongue cleaner as forays into retail and TV
infomercials proved unfruitful. It wasnt until the then 75-year-old
joined forces with Jeffrey Harmon, a college student at the time, to
produce a YouTube video marketing the product as a tool to help cure
bad breath that Orabrush took off. Since launching on YouTube in
late 2009, Orabrush has executed one of the most successful viral
marketing campaigns in recent history. Some of Orabrushs major YouTube
