Yup, it does make me think.

She's obviously from an ad agency. With those shoes, probably Wieden & Kennedy.

What percentage did she negotiate of the increased income as a result of her creative input?

I checked story behind this video. As it seems  it is just advertise for book, but I like it nevertheless.

I think what even spurred passers-by generosity was the fact that it obviously wasn't such a "beautiful day" at all according to common notion.
You can see the wet pavement and people wearing thick garment and scarves. So I would take it for a rather chilly, wettish, maybe "lousy" November day.

I found this clip and I remembered my late dad and thought I might share with rest.
Some will probably be annoyed but rest will understand:

Hi sjoormen,

your posted video clip somewhat reminds me a little bit of, albeit under inverted signs, this slogan we once had overhere
(http://www.ahano.de/images/Thumbnails_Gross/forum_bild_beitrag/10096/10096_60_2810.jpg)
which could be translated as, Be kind to your children for they will choose your retirement home.

That reminds me: we have saying here You make your parents to the door, your children will make you trough the door.
I remember my mother said (it is hard to translate- especialy with my English) parent's love to children is totally different than child's to parent's.
