Ben Swann Made Round 2 @ Intuit's Super Bowl Commercial Contest!

[ZakCarter]

We received this email this morning from Intuit!

"Thanks to all of your fans who voted, you made it. Welcome to Round 2! In Round 2, you'll get to enhance your story by creating a profile for your small business."

And I just asked Jeremy Richter to get us a 90 second video that will make people really remember (and love) Ben!

Please vote once a day while this contest is ongoing, and ask your friends and family to do the same!

Why is Ben Swann and liberty media (and this contest) so important to me? Because I truly believe that we won't turn things around in this country if we don't first help change the media landscape - and it is changing, it just needs a little push from all of us! Winning a free Super Bowl commercial for Ben Swann would be a huge step in getting alternative media out in front of the masses!

(And a huge THANK YOU!!! to the Ron Paul forums for helping Ben advance to the 2nd round! He couldn't have done it without you!)

[Keith and stuff]

Cool stuff. Voted.

I added this to our "Top Activist Efforts" page: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/list.php?category/8-Top-Activist-Efforts

Everyone vote!

[matt0611]

Awesome. Voted.

Also, Tom Woods just interviewed Ben Swann on Tom's new radio show.

Thank you malkusm!

In other exciting Ben Swann news - we have an opportunity to film a pilot for a reality TV show that would be shown on the major networks via Mark Basile from http://www.axiusent.com/

If anyone would be interested in investing in such a project, feel free to contact me at zakcarter@benswann.com or 206-551-8704

(I'm also working on getting Ben in a few big screen movies in which he'd just be himself! Ben Swann rather than Wolf Blitzer or other MSM clones in Hollywood movies sounds like a win to me!)

one part of that interview aggravates me.
i'm assuming Ben had gotten distracted while Tom was asking him a question... but instead of asking Tom to repeat the question, he goes on talking about something that wasn't a response to the question.
otherwise, a good interview.

I think Ben just misunderstood the question. Tom wanted to ask what he has done that he is most proud of (like which story / interviewer etc) but Ben took it to mean something more general. Tom clarified and Ben answered accordingly.

hmmm, it sounded like someone interrupted on Ben's end during that question. maybe just hearing things.

Intuit has a few questions for Ben, and one specifically for us, his fans -

"What keeps your customers coming back? What do they say they love about your business?" Got answers?! :)

Is there a way to know his standing in this new round of voting? I notice it is no longer possible to sort by popularity. Also seems strange that although this round supposedly contains only 20 entries, the front page of the site still loads hundreds of possibilities.

Just like the Shorty Awards when he garnered the most votes and still didn't win. Oh well, it was good publicity for him and his FaceBook likes increased tremendously during that period. I'd say he gained a much bigger following. All helps.

[ClydeCoulter]

No. I just wanted to be annoying.

Successful :mad: :D

Dang, I was just checking to see how this went...sorry Ben.
