According to People magazine and other foreign media, French salesman D'Agobert Renouf was in a difficult financial situation, but he could not give up his marriage to his lover Anna Plinyna.
In response, he came up with a brilliant idea.
Renouf unveiled his plan to turn himself into a 'human billboard' on social media.
A total of 26 startups purchased advertisements in response to his explanation that he would cover wedding expenses by attaching corporate logos to tuxedo jackets. Making a total of $10,000 (W14 million), he said, `This summer I was completely penniless, almost homeless, but I wanted to marry my wife" he said. "I asked the founder community for help on SNS, and someone jokingly said, "I'll give you 500 euros (about 800,000 won), so put my logo on it." And that's the beginning.", he explained.
At first, his wife didn't like the idea, but Renouf persuaded him by saying, "Let's make it a special day with the founder's community that we've built up so far," and eventually pushed ahead with the project.
In front of 16 guests, he appeared in a tuxedo full of advertising logos.
Guests responded greatly to this unique idea. "It was much more difficult than I thought to make a jacket with a pretty logo arrangement in a short period of time," he confessed.
Of the 10,000 dollars in advertising revenue, 5,200 dollars (about 7.5 million won) was spent on tuxedo production, and 2,500 dollars (about 3.6 million won) had to be paid in taxes. He explained "I got a free tuxedo and left $2000."
This creative advertising project did not just pay for the wedding.
Impressed by Renouf's passion and execution, a founder offered a job at a New York start-up 'Comp AI', and he got his dream job.
