Thanks to Scott Campbell of Net New Daily, who not only profiled me for this article but put together this exceptional group o’ talent for a 100,000 subscribers toast. Yey! Much obliged! 🙂

It wasn’t long ago that I could read ever subscriber’s name (with help from my guests) in a video under 2 minutes.

Scott- how’d you get Barats & Bereta? They’re harder to track down than LisaNova. And Matt, who proved that YouTube has been around since the 80s. And I was psyched to see Buckley, until I realized that was his look-alike named Mason.

Must-See Parody on Advertising Guys

Barats & Bereta

Barats & Bereta, the online-video comedy duo best known for Mother’s Days, have posted a series called “Ad Guys” that is “must see” comedy for advertising executives. 

I’ve long admired the Canadian team for their sharp writing and acting, but this represents a brilliant marketing move as well. By satirizing advertising, they’ll quickly catch the attention of the very target market that can make them successful. I’m puzzled why the guys don’t have more sponsors given their tremendous popularity on YouTube and other online-video sites. They are now represented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and are rumored to be cooking up an NBC sitcom. 

Check out Ad Guys episode one below, and visit their channel to see the next 3 episodes.

Grant, nothing tops “Truth in Advertising,” but this is good comedy.
