Advertise Free at Largest Ever Online-Video Meetup May 30, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : Blogs on Video, Killer Video, Making Videos, Online Video, Video Advertising, Video Business, advertising , trackback

NYC on ”7.7.7″  is shaping up to be the largest ever online-video meetup. I’m basing that on roughly 300 registrations on the horrendously ugly but informative www.youtubemeetup.com.  And the YouTube gathering in San Fran attracted several hundred people with just 2 week’s notice.

YouTubers will converge upon Washington Square Park from 11-8 p.m. on July 7, 2007. Here’s an announcement by “xgobobeanx,” and my response video (Stupid NYC Arch). Seems I misunderstood that we’d be shooting our announcement videos separately. Here’s my video that recklessly started this event, although rest assured more organized people have taken over.

If you’re a marketer or advertiser looking to ingratiate yourself to the YouTube community, then I’d recommend showing up with free goods. You might also want to host an event at a nearby bar and provide free or discounted drinks for a period (the Fizz apparently did this on the west coast gathering). There’s no formal “organizer” of this event, but we’ve established an e-mail address for questions: newyorkcitygathering@gmail.com (I won’t be checking this).

There’s nothing standing between you — dear advertisers — and the community. You just want to make sure that you’re not perceived as blatantly promoting, and that you secure whatever permits you need. The group filed a permit for the gathering of video creators and cameras, apparently, but not for specific logistics like tables. So please check with this site to get information about permits.

What do brands get out of it?

Get creative. Try to figure out a way that ensures your brand takes a cameo in the videos created. For instance… bring a Nalts blow up doll.

The hard part, of course? Who runs with it? The brand team? The digital agency? The PR agency? Or do you debate that until the event has passed?

The “Nalts blow up doll” is a risky suggestion, but very brave. But seriously, I hope marketers are beginning to see the writing on the wall.

I’d be really interested to know exactly what sort of tunrout there is of the marketers/advertisers.

Haha… ‘the “nalts blow up doll” is a risky suggestion’

All you gotta do is find someone with no shame and they will happily carry around a blow up doll for you.

Job hunting or job seeking is the act of looking for employment,
due to unemployment or discontent with a current position.
Job hunting in general is one of the most arduous, discouraging and
stressful activities one can go through. There is no easy way to find a job.
Many employers will deny your application or refuse to accept your resume,
never landing that interview.
Common methods of job seeking are:

- using a job search engine
- looking through the classifieds in newspapers
- using a private or public employment agency or recruiter
- finding a job through a friend or an extended business network
