Buy W+K’s Magic Pen

We’re not really sure why Wieden +Kennedy went ahead and put a “magic” pen on sale over at Ebay, but the money goes to charity, so fun is fun. Who are we to question? Here’s the slightly sardonic deal: “This is no ordinary N50 Pentel Pen Marker, this pen was ‘liberated’ by myself during a failed attempt to gain a place on Wieden and Kennedy’s WKside scheme. This pen appears to have soaked up the creative energy flowing around the Wieden and Kennedy studio and, believe it or not, has the power to create award winning ad campaigns entirely on its own. I am, however, sure Wieden and Kennedy would like to keep the secret of their successes away from competitors almost as much as rivals would like to get their grubby mits on this little creative Holy Grail.”

Question: don’t you guys have some work to do over there in London? W+K is drowning in great accounts. And you know how we were being fussy about the lack of brown faces? Well, at least the interns at W+K Portland are all rainbow’d out. Check ‘em out below.
