Nationwide Brings More Consumer-Generated Times Square Action

nationwide_times_square.jpg

Following Time Magazine’s lead, Nationwide Insurance is doing the consumer-generated Times Square billboard thing. Visitors to the Life Comes At You Fast site can submit a “moment” that somehow relates to the whole Life Comes At You Fast thing and, if accepted, it will appear on Natonwide’s Time Square billboard. TM Advertising did the work.

We suppose there’s a vanity play here and we’re sure we’re jaded by years of this stuff but…oh screw it…we were going to complain but whet the hell. People love to see their own faces in public places. We’re just not the stand behind the GMA camera and wave like an idiot sort of guy.

I grew up in the 1970s when nobody asked how I was feeling and honestly, I think that’s why I can sit with discomfort in a way my own kids never learned — because I was never taught that every uncomfortable moment required immediate intervention

I’m 73 and I watched my grandson have a panic attack over a delayed package — and I realized the gap between how I was raised and how he was raised isn’t just generational, it’s a completely different operating system for handling adversity

I’m 77 and the hardest part of retirement isn’t boredom or loneliness. It’s sitting across from my wife at breakfast and realizing we spent forty years building parallel lives under the same roof and now there’s nothing between us and that fact.
