Advertising Brilliance #002 & #004

8 Comments 15 March 2010

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I recently realized I was born to be in advertising. It’s only a matter of time before every major ad firm is begging me to join their staff and every major company is on my doorstep asking me to hock their wares.

Please don’t be alarmed by the sheer genius and awe-inducing power of what you’re about to see. And please don’t try to donate money to me for sharing these…I’ll be dropping these on you pro bono every week until I get hired to do this full time. It shouldn’t take long…

(to help you cope with the daylight savings time adjustment, here’s 2 new editions)

and if you can’t see these in your reader, click here.

If you’re an ad agency and you want some of this, it’s bryanallain-at-gmail.com.

If you’re a company with a product to sell, ditto.

I’m changing the game…we are all witnesses.

ps…I skipped over edition #003 because that one deserves it’s own post next week.

Advertising Brilliance #001

I recently realized I was born to be in advertising. Not sure why it took me this long to see it, but it’s only a matter of time before every major ad firm is begging me to join their staff and every major company is on my doorstep asking me to hock their wares.

I’m sure I could make some calls and get hired by an ad agency in 10.5 seconds, but that’s not how I roll. I’d rather do my thing and let them come to me.

Saturday Cowbell

6 Comments 06 March 2010

Totally forgot this video existed until yesterday.

It’s from 2006, and it’s me playing a rather uninspired cowbell on stage with my favorite band of all time, Caedmon’s Call.

(I make an appearance at the :07 and the 1:07 mark wearing my red sox sweatshirt)

It was always a dream of mine to play on stage with Caedmon’s, still makes me smile to watch it.

Got me thinking, if you could play cowbell on stage with any band in the world, who would it be?

Bonus points if your answer rhymes with Pickleback.

5 Questions with Tyler Stanton

2 Comments 20 February 2010

World renowned funnyman Tyler Stanton is starting a new video series on his blog called “5 Questions You’ve Never Been Asked”, and through bribery and violent threats (turns out there’s not much Tripp Crosby won’t do for $20) I was able to convince him to interview me for the first installment.

At 7 minutes, the video is a smidgen long (and it would be nice if my volume was a bit louder), but we had fun doing the interview so there’s a slight chance you might enjoy watching it.

Also, my head really is twice as big and twice as pasty as Tyler’s in real life.

Click here to go to Tyler’s and check it out.

UPDATE: The audio issues are fixed! Check it out.
