And thus I eventually got a reply.
"Hi David,
My apologies for the delayed reply, things have been crazy in the office recently, I gather you have been in touch with my colleague Yuki regarding the video content.
Do you have a blog or use twitter?
The cost per click for this campaign is 3p but you can monetise using other platforms, for instance we can pay you £50 for an editorial, £10 for a branded Twiiter page, £2 for a tweet that links to the video or £5 for posting on your facebook page.
The campaign has a great message alongside its entertainment value...
As you are interested in the Florence music content then why not also take a look at:
La Roux performing at Nova Dando's fashion show.
The content is part of a much wider project ... following the creative pursuits of several other cultural heroes.
The aim is to help promote talent from the world of music, film and art and share the cultural heroes’ passions with likeminded individuals.
To get hold of the videos ... you can sign up and grab the embed code for the video, signing on enables you to sign up with your bank details or paypal for payment.
Please do let me know what you think about these options as we would love to have you on board!
Best,
Sally"
So, Hi Sally
Not sure if you'll be reading this, what with you being so busy and all. But this is my blog. I don't do Twiiter (sic), though. Or facebook. So the money doesn't really look that great, does it? I'm not very good at writing, either - so it would take me a day's work to earn that £50 for an editorial.
I have another problem as well. You see, I have a cultural hero of my own. Admittedly he's a bit older than Florence and La Roux. But you know what he'd say about this, don't you?
"Ain't singing for Miller, don't sing for Bud":
"I ain't singing for nobody, makes me look like a joke."
3p per click. Put it up, we'll all click though, vow not to buy their stuff, you give the £3 to your favourite charity.

Kafkaesque, but without the charm.
