Tongaler Of The Month – FCR Creations
February’s Tongaler of the Month is three-time 1st place award winning, FCR Creations. When Fred first started participating in April of last year, I don’t think anyone could have predicted his meteoric rise through the ranks to become the second most highly paid creator on our site. Nine months, eight wins and 199 Leaderboard spots later, Fred was kind enough to answer some questions about his experience and what it takes to win consistently on Tongal.
Tongaler Of The Month – Robert Capria
December’s Tongaler of the Month is Robert Capria, 1st place winner of the Capitol Records Beach Boys Music Video Project on Tongal.com. In addition to $5,000 and a one-of-a-kind custom Hobie surfboard, Robert earned what many would consider the greatest reward of all – title as creator of The Official “Heroes and Villains” Music Video.
Tongaler Of The Month – Courtney Dixon
November’s Tongaler of the month is 1st place winner of the $20,000 Benjamin Moore “Big Transformations on a Small Budget” Project and Pitch-creator extraordinaire, Courtney Dixon. In just three short months, Courtney has reeled in $9,350, earning her the title of highest paid female creator on Tongal. As if that wasn’t huge enough, her amazing Benjamin Moore commercial, “Spend Less, Get Moore,” is currently being broadcast on TV. Any creator out there can tell you that this is exactly the type of thing people spend years trying to accomplish, having it happen in less than 90 days is basically unheard of. Honestly…we couldn’t think of anyone more deserving.
Tongaler Of The Month – David Brashear
October’s Tongaler of the Month is none other than David Brashear, 1st place winner of the Stuck on Duck Video Project and creator of the highly-acclaimed 37-second stop-motion masterpiece, “Duck Tron.” Not only did David’s video garner over 2 million views in less than two weeks, but it also debuted in the #2 Spot on the Ad Age Viral Video Chart, making it the only crowdsourced video ever to do so. It may sound presumptuous, but given David’s level of creativity, originality, technical skill, and vision we think this is only the beginning.
T.O.T.M. – Sean Clark
In this Tongaler of the Month, Caleb Light-Wills interviews 1st place “Outside the Box” video winner and pitch creator extraordinaire, Sean Clark. Of the four tournament style projects we’ve hosted, Sean has come out on top three times (the only member to ever do so), earning him production budgets and guaranteed prizes for each of those finished videos. With the announcement of Freshpet’s Video winners and Benjamin Moore’s “Find Your Perfect Color” submission phase closing this afternoon, we couldn’t think of a more opportune moment to discuss past wins, future ambitions and what it’s like to have one of your commercials aired on TV.
T.O.T.M. – The Norman Invasion
In this Tongal Of The Month, Tongal’s own Caleb Light-Wills interviews four-time 1st place winning video creators and current #2 All-Time Leaderboard ranking, The Norman Invasion. For those of you who have been living under a rock (or just joined the site), The Norman Invasion dominated Tongal from May through August of last year – placing first in three consecutive video projects, assuming the 1st place position on the Tongal All-Time Leaderboard, and racking up well over $10,000 along the way. Then, mysteriously, The Invasion slipped quietly into the digital abyss, leaving in their wake a gaggle of stunned creators and a portfolio of unparalleled renown.
It’s that time of the year again and The Invasion is back with a new big win under its belt ($9,500) for its most notable client to date (Benjamin Moore). With Tongal’s new Tournament Style Projects and a reel like theirs, you can expect to see a lot more of these guys on the site in the near future.
