MediaVest rappers not expecting great ROI
We know the Agency.com viral video didn’t work out so well in the Subway review. Will MediaVest see a bigger payoff in terms of recruiting online ad talent with this “Fresh Prince of Free Beer” effort? Granted, the MediaVest kids are not creatives, but the awkward factor here ricochets off the charts. From a strategy standpoint, MediaVest overlooks the low pay and long hours of junior media planners in favor of the perks (aka bribes from media reps): dinner at Per Se, free tickets, swag and, of course, free booze. |

I can rap:
Let me introduce myself tonight
I push out babies with all my might
Friends call me TTG as a short
I swallow phalluses just for sport
Some like me hairy, some like me bare
When I'm uncovered, all the men stare
I get veiled in soft, satin thongs
Then I get stuffed by hard, rubber dongs
Don't be scared, I don't bite
Give you pleasure? I just might
It's been real, it's been great
But it's time for my owner to masturbate

This is a competition within MediaVest, and our team's video blows this one away.

Both those videos suck, James K. Dumb concept, way too long, and here's the other thing: you can't create a video that's humor is dependent on knowing the actor.
You guys need to get out of the ad biz and do something you have a talent for. Like crunching numbers.
