I’m sure all the marketing experts in this thread who know their space really well are aware of the fact that Diesel just recently ran a campaign on Tindr

Well at least the marketing team at Mindgeek is certainly savvy enough to have noticed as it was a highly publicized campaign and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if after seeing those ads, they were the ones who initiated the dialogue with Diesel. It works so well for them that they may have even offered to give the ads for free.

But that’s all aside from the point and I could care less as to whether or not Paul took the short bus to arrive at the proper school of thought because the plan does also make a whole lot of sense for Diesel for multiple reasons even in the off chance they paid rate card rates.

The irony of it all is that that those who a bash Paul the loudest are the one who sound most like him.
