 Hey, John Crestani here and welcome to my channel. I am a marketing entrepreneur and I'm really excited about this ad that came across. I do affiliate marketing for a living which is some weird complicated thing. It's basically I market other companies products and they pay me a commission to do so. And this company Nerdwallet is a really big company. They're a company that does hundreds of millions of dollars a year and they started off as just a blog. And I started a blog just like these guys. But I don't make that much money. So, I'm really excited that they've branched off on a TV. They're just amazing marketers behind this company. So, when I heard that there was an ad as a marketer myself, I was just super excited to see what marketing magic they came up with. So, let's check it out. Okay, so I just don't fully understand what's going on. Now, I spend a lot of money on YouTube advertising for my business. And I know that if you don't have something interesting to say in the first 5 seconds of your ad that people generally tune out or you know, they might go off and do something different. You know, on TV, you can't actually click skip ad. But you know, in real life, you just kind of... You know, you take out your phone. You start fiddling around. You do something. You go get some cheese puffs or something like that. In this case, I didn't figure out what they're doing. There's some little humor like holy cobalt. I get that there's 2 friends at dinner together and this guy's throwing what looks like his card to his friend. But I don't totally get what this ad is about just yet. And we're already about a fourth of the way through the entire ad. So, let's let's continue going. Maybe it gets more clear. I get that the friend is envious and that this guy Brad seems like a really cool guy. Now, I know what this guy is doing is... You know, what Nerdwallet does is they sell credit cards. Nerdwallet makes money if you sign up for a credit card with you know, Visa, Mastercard, just whatever. You know, they get a commission. They get you know, they have deals with Visa and those companies to give them give Nerdwallet $100 every time somebody signs up. Something like that. This isn't making me want to sign up for a credit card so far. It's... We're halfway through and it's just... It's more about humor. It seems like this probably had a big budget. It seems like a big ad agency. Some overthinking. And it's... I don't see any benefit in this for me. I just don't understand how anything is going to help me out right now. But let's... Let's keep going. So, so far, you know, I think the point of that piece was that he's... He's got a better credit card than him. He has more points as I think the point they were trying to make and haha. And that Brad's envious so that because Brad's cool... Brad's cooler than him and he got his card on Nerdwallet. I'm just not seeing the benefits yet. For all my... I don't have any credit card questions. I just didn't get really the point of that. I I get that you know what? He got his credit card on nerdwallet.com. But never for a particular moment in that ad was I was I feeling like, oh, I need to go to Nerdwallet 2 and get a new credit card. I just... It just didn't really speak to me. It seemed like an interesting commercial. It seemed fun to watch. But being fun to watch isn't what sells products. And as a commercial, not selling products, it doesn't make sense for the company. I mean, what I do in marketing, I spend about between 2 to $10,000 every day. And you know, my company earns more than that. And whenever I spend a dollar, my goal is to make back 2. Okay? Because I have to pay for my ads and I have to pay for my employees. So and I and I have to hopefully take home some of the money to you know, take care of my wife and kids and all that stuff. But the point being is I have to have... I have to get people to do things. I have to get people interested and like I have to solve somebody's problem. I have to get people... I have to speak to people to help solve their problem. I didn't see any problem being posed there that this Nerdwallet site solved. So, that was very unclear to me. I know Nerdwallet's done very well on the internet with what they do. Their ads on the internet and offering people you know comparisons and reviews of different credit cards. But the commercial just was it didn't sell... It didn't sell cards. It used a little bit of humor. And coming from a marketers perspective, I would give that ad an f. Straight up. I don't think it did anything to sell credit cards. I think that was horrible. And if they're trying to brand themselves somehow, I... It just... It didn't speak... It didn't say any benefits for me. It just seemed like something that would waste my time.
