The Puppet Talks To Tumblr, Wallstrip and MobLogic About What Makes Them So Successful
I spent this morning at an event hosted by The Media Kitchen. A variety of NY-based VC firms along with their portfolio companies presented general business updates. I captured a ton of video and will post my thoughts and the videos over the next few days. The Media Kitchen put together an absolutely hilarious opening video. I cut two snippets that I thought would be beneficial for anyone trying to grow their startup.
The first video has the puppet (Gary) interviewing Tumblr founder David Karp about what makes Tumblr so popular. Rather than give away the reason, just watch the very short video.
In this video, the puppet asks MobLogic host Lindsay Campbell and Wallstrip host Julie Alexandria how to keep viewers engaged. This could be the first time that Julie and Lindsay have appeared together!







Allen, glad you enjoyed the video and that it went over well. It was created by the team at Next New Networks — written and directed by our own Justin Johnson — as a collaboration with Media Kitchen for their Venture Day. We’ll be posting the full video soon with the story of how it came about and we’ll send you an update when it’s up.
thanks for the info – looking forward to the update!
alright, i know where i want to work next
The full video and backstory is now up on our blog: Justin and Gary’s Internet Adventure.
