My LinkedIn Video - feedback?
On LinkedIn there is a perfect spot for a video - under your description (which everyone reads) there is a place for two pieces of media. The first one should be a video that tells people what problems you solve and for whom you solve them.
Because of it's placement, people will watch it. Most of them are the usual "I'm Joe Blowhard and I blah, blah, blah, synergy, blah, solutions, blah.." OOOOHHHHH NOOOOOOO! Not me. I can't do it. Here's what I made instead. |

Beginning was OK, but the last 14 minutes were amazing!

I want to hear people's first gut reactions when they see it.
Imagine yourself frustrated with sales and marketing. You are spending money and getting nothing or not enough. You are looking at different possible partners. Everybody has a talking head video. BTW - this goes with my profile https://linkedin.com/in/petemonfre (it doesn't stand alone) - so they have plenty of context. |

Speaking as someone old enough to have watched those films in grade school, I liked it. I can appreciate the work involved in matching the words to the lips moving in the film clips. Looks like you had to alter the speeds on some of them, too. Impressive.
Most important thing is if I was in the market for your services, I would have to meet the guy who made this. |

I like it, shows creativity plus humor with the eating crayons reference.

Younger Boomers won't understand the references. No Millenials will twig to the humor.
Many of those without Military service will not understand where you are coming from. I get it... but I am too old to be your target audience. |

I’m pushing boundaries intentionally. I’m building some fun into my brand to offset people thinking I’m too wonky or heavy. We shall see. Thank for brutal truth. I’m listening. I’ll have an updated version tomorrow. |

Creative but potentially polarizing. I was a recruiter/Interviewer-Assessor at Ford for the past 20 years yrs. (Marketing, Sales & Service) until my recent retirement. Perhaps a few tweaks, “eating crayons” notwithstanding. It may not be taken seriously unless you are applying for a creative marketing media or training media position by an HR person who thinks she can sell the 30-40 something hiring manager on giving you an interview who may not (or, may) relate with olden-dayze.

Not my cup of tea, but I’m not going to be an asshole about it like that grizzledvette prick at the other place. That guy came out of the closet as a magnum douche. Surprised me a little.

People don’t know what they don’t know. Most people so far dig it and get the joke. Anytime you do something different people resist. It’s just not what they are used to seeing - and that’s the power of being different. That video will get shared. Me talking won’t. Honestly if someone is so turned off by the video to overlook my reputation and experience, I don’t want to work them anyway. I’m dedicated to working with people who push limits. Who have a sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously. Who are brave enough to take strategic risks. I’m going to post it in a large private group of marketers. Let’s see what they say. |

Keep working outside the box. I think you are appealing to a clientele that wants to do just that. The rest of the pack is not where it's at. Never has been. |
