College Success

There has been a new craze on YouTube over the past few months started by a man named Julian Smith.





   He has created funny videos that appeal to the college-aged crowd. Interestingly enough, the videos make little to no sense, and yet he has about 35 million views.
   The slogan that Julian has made for himself is "I made this for you!" Thus, he makes the viewer feel important and improves his brand. With such an influence as he has, he should be getting into the corporate world and using his fame to spread some product or service. I'm sure he has had many offers at this point, and shouldn't feel like a "sell out" for making money from his talent.
  His videos remind me of a small production that bloomed years ago, David Lehre productions. He was a young college student that produced similar shorts and had spots with Nesquik, Nokia, CareerBuilder.com, and various rappers. I'll include one of his videos as well.





   Hilarious shorts like these give college students hope at a bright future without the time restraints that graduation makes. Many of us have been inspired by the creative genius that has come from both David Lehre and Julian Smith.
