Dating Brian… The Guy who Copied #DateMattMcNamara

Posted on 15 July 2010 by Matt

So this is this guy named Brian. He is pretty much copying my idea of how to get a new girlfriend. He is going about it a slightly different way, but ultimately his idea is the same. Except that he is actually doing it (I did make a good faith effort however). 

Here's his shtick…

So, basically his 5+ year relationship ended and he wants to find a new girl. I don't blame him. His goal is to go on thirty dates with thirty girls. I'm not sure if it is thirty different girls (what if he hits it off with one?), but hell I'd take 10 dates with qualified women.

It's like my idea in the sense that you are using some medium to broadcast the fact that you are single and ready to mingle. My method was website and billboard. His happens to be website and Twitter.  

He's a bit of an oddball IMHO, but I applaud his effort. I know it's hard to bounce back and I know I did some crazy things after my relationship ended. More power to the guy. 

And Brian, if for some crazy reason you get around to reading this, I highly suggest sky diving. It'll shake things up.

Interesting Product Placement

Posted on 01 June 2010 by Matt

I love the soundtrack for this spot:

Okay, I admit, I like the visuals as well. The audio is great though; I wasn’t joking about that. I found this over at the ADFREAK blog and thought their interpretation of what was going on was interesting.

They essentially said that this may be a new type of  advertising in which it is essentially product placement, but on a different level. By this I mean Michael Bay has chosen to (agreed to? was paid to?) cast Rosie Huntington-Whitely in the Transformers 3 movie. This is interesting because she has no acting experience, just a lot of looking hot experience (which she does well).

I find it interesting that Victoria’s Secret decided to do a congratulations highlight reel, but as ADFREAK points out it may be to further the product placement. Either way the spot is enjoyable, I will see Transformers 3, and probably continue to buy Victoria’s Secret products for a significant other (#datemattmcnamara).
