Cat and Rob Corddry give Name.com a High Five — Grumpy the

Celebrities give Name.com a high five.

Name.com did a rather clever marketing gimmick during SXSW Interactive in Austin. It sent one of its client service reps to the city as “High Five Guy”. For every high five he got (10,000) the firm donated 5 cents to an Austin charity.

It’s difficult to attract attention during the noise of SXSW, but High Five Guy appears to have done the trick. The charity element certainly didn’t hurt.

High Five guy got high fives from comedian Rob Corddry, Grumpy the Cat, and thousands more.

The video below includes Rob Corddry. You can see High Five Guy give a high five to Grumpy the Cat here.
