    Speaking of ads on TV, I assume you guys have seen this: http://slatev.com/video/how-i-ran-ad-fox-news/

    You could give that a go. Maybe not on Fox News though ;)

    Got a bit distracted by curvaceous woman in yellow dress (so I’d watch it again) and the page-curling bullet points at the end seemed to be trivialized when it is in fact the Main Thing.

    A big win for the pink-socks, playing on home turf.

    I like the ad, but it is really feels like a TV ad and that means you have to pay for airing it ….

    I would take a different approach and try create a video that has a chance to go viral. The Re-Work video is a brilliant example:

    Given your audience, I think you can come up with something very funny or controversial or sexy or a mix of all of that, and land a viral video hit.
    Good luck!

    Unf it’s too slick/mature – it seems like an ad for an established insurance company or bank, not from an innovative company trying to create a new way of doing things. I agree with PaulG – the entire differentiating value proposition of WePay – group payment management, gets lost as a footnote at the end. The group payment angle needs to be the headline. I’d suggest doing some more entertaining scenario-based videos – how payment was done before/after for some of the most popular use cases. Also like Thomas’ idea to use mylikes.

    It’s definitely really well produced but I’m not sure if there’s enough emphasis on what WePay does and how it makes your life easier. I agree with Kevin G. that group payment theme needs more of an emphasis.

    Nice video, ending is short and awkward though
