A new animated video from the Tellman Knudson traffic team has the Internet marketing world in an uproar.
A new animated video from the Tellman Knudson traffic team has the Internet marketing world in an uproar.
The video comments on the difficulty of getting a 9-5 job for minimum wage, versus the enormous potential of working online as an entrepreneur. What spurred the backlash was the video's "violent" end.
"We have done 2 other videos previous to this one that got minimal discussion and generated little to no profit… Yet, this video had generated a ton of sales, has a ton more views and is getting spread around all over the place," said Knudson in his rebuttal response.
What began the uproar was another known marketer, who voiced serious complaints that the video shows that our "culture is going down the tubes."
Obvious responses to this complaint were queries to the writer's experience with vintage cartoons, where characters are mauled, dropped from cliffs, and blown to smithereens by bombs.
Could it be that the problem is not that culture is going down the tubes, but that we have become immersed in over-developed sensibilities?
While the discussion continues, OvercomeEverything, Inc. encourages others to voice their opinions on the matter, and as Knudson recommends, "...and if
people get uncomfortable, let them run away like slugs from a saltmine!"
