The Influencer Thread

Anybody else caught this on their social media feed?

To be perfectly honest, The Algorithm only serves me up Runfluencers, but thanks for breaking me out of the “only 3 posts in a row” Penalty Box

Update…Reckons Sam will give him $500 if he does it.

Here is a new one on my algorithm. A 24 year old American Fitness/Lifestyle influencer who has decided to do an IM70.3. Kind of America’s answer to Natascha Oceane.

390k followers..65k views in one week..

Who?

Slowtwitch ignorance knows no bounds. She has been mentioned here before numerous times.

Hahaha.. .Im like that with the tech stuff. Wilfully and blissfully ignorant.

Here is a new one on my feed. Another Fitness Influencer who goes around trying different sports for views.

This “I signed up for a Sprint Tri without knowing how to swim “ video has 41K views in the first 10hrs. That is crazy!

Again, I’m not interested in mocking (unless it’s something egregious! LOL) … I prefer to share people that might not be in anyone else’s Algorithm

My three favorite words “Hand drawn art”

Of course, he DID have to digitize it for production, but I’ll allow it!!!

That’s a design that’s going to appeal to a hell of a lot of people so well done to the organizers and well done to the artist.

According to his IG, he’s been doing a bunch of them

The way he works with sketches and cut-ups, without using digital until the design is complete and ready for production, is very much in my own wheelhouse — he’s much better at it than I am, honestly

Also FWIW Zach is an 8:30 Steepler (which is very good) so not “just an influencer” TFRRS | Zach Litoff – Track and Field Results & Statistics

I just liked his artwork, and his “Make race shirts cool again” message and mutuals include Raz Rauf and Like The Wind

That 8:30 only further legitimizes, as well as 3:12 at Big Sur


On this piece, he used “The P Word”

The Boston Punk scene is dear to me, as a friend of mine from the Philly scene, moved up there and got married to Al Barile of SS Decontrol/SSD

I especially like that - as far as I can see - no one is asking “How much did they pay you?”

He could be editing those posts out of the feed, of course, but I’m sure he didn’t do all this work on spec (at least I HOPE not)


Many years ago, after I’d left the Ad Agency, I did some pro bono work for a friend of mine for a 5K she was promoting up in Boston. I designed a shirt, as well as the race flyer (remember those?) It had all the pertinent info: race time & place, a course map (sent faxed me a map of Boston, with the course marked out, which I recreated to the best of my ability), fees, text about the charity the 5K was supporting and the - most importantly - entry form to be sent back

For my troubles, I got a shirt; which eventually went to Goodwill

Adidas + Satisy have been teasing this all weekend

It was just as I had feared. One of those ridiculous “what if we try this?” race ideas that I’m kinda known for (in my own house and among my friends, anyway)

If he really wanted to impress, he should have to do Sam’s distance volume instead of time.

will he do this with the efforts, or all just at z2?

He’ll impress his followers … that’s all that counts; #clickbait as they check on his progress

Never forget
