The Rubicon Project tapped its “LA movie friends” to create this spoof vid, in which Channel 3 News goes behind the scenes to pinpoint the company’s awesomeness.
I was told this would be “a tongue-and-cheek take on the magic” behind Rubicon’s success, but until 1:25 it’s nothing but pure pitch.
That was irritating. But afterward the whole thing was kinda funny.
Frank Addante is awesome as the young, arrogant startup douchebag. Know how Rubicon screens for talent and makes VC cash? Chugging contests. Not that that’s a secret; anybody who’s been to one of their parties could’ve figured that out.
Just wish I’d seen the hilarity coming before Minute One was up. Because seriously, I thought I’d been tricked into sitting for a demo. Actually, I still kinda suspect that I did.
