**This post would fit in a little better as a Friday post, but hey, I’m having a terrible time finding something to blog about, so here’s something fun for you**
Have you heard of Vern Fonk? Chances are if you don’t live in the Seattle/Tacoma area you haven’t. But thanks to the power of what the man in the video below calls the “InterMet,” Vern has made his way into my life.
Here’s his commercial (yes, this is a real insurance agency and real TV commercial):
Who says insurance can’t be funny?
I figure Vern is worth writing about because he is different…WAY different. I have a feeling he might not be the most loved insurance agent in his area, and I bet he offends some people as well, but Vern does something in this video that companies like GEICO have only been able to accomplish through heavy caveman make up, B-List stars and animated geckos (and a massive pile of loot)…Vern stands out an makes a heck of an impression.
What does this have to do with you as an affiliate? Maybe nothing. But realizing what Vern was able to do with a low budget, wild ideas and the guts to do something totally ridiculous to stand out from the corporate behemoths that dominate his industry might be inspiring for a few of you.
Or it might just make you laugh.
Dance!
