Midnight Snack: A-Frame with Alex Blagg
I sit at the A-Frame bar sipping a ginger beer and waiting for Alex Blagg, comedian and self-proclaimed digital media expert. His satirical social media site, Bajillion Hits, features a video of Blagg bragging about his dominion over the entire internet. (He’s read it about five times, you see.) “I don’t think outside the box,” he says. “I put the box on Twitter [and] get it a million followers…” His character is too funny to be real, but Blagg is so great at acting self-obsessed that a small part of me fears he’ll show up and berate me for my paltry Twitter following. Turns out, Blagg is a grown-up foodie who is definitely Internet savvy but doesn’t even like Yelp. We sampled the A-Frame menu and talked adulthood and the word “moist.”
Laurenne: So … Can you get this article a bajillion hits? Alex: I’ll definitely do my best to cross-promote and virally brand-jack your content by leveraging the appropriate platforms and social graphs.
Laurenne: Does Bajillion Hits take clients? Alex: Bajillion Hits started as a joke. I was in between projects, and I made it just for fun. I knew so many real social media ‘experts’ like that, so that character was easy to write. And then it sort of took off. I get to speak at conferences now and I’m actually developing a show about that character. But, no, I would feel too bad actually taking money from people to put their box on Twitter.
