How Bad Do You Want To Work In Advertising?

It always amazes us that ad agencies complain that no one wants to work in the industry. Retention may be a problem, but new bodies? Please.

Case in point comes from W+K London blog about this email below:

“My name is Luke Forsythe. If you are reading this on the morning of the 24th then I will be sitting outside on a turquoise Verner Panton. Please do not be alarmed. I’m in a good state of mental health. However, I am determined to talk to a senior member of Creative. I know how busy you all are so I simply plan to wait until somebody has a spare moment.

I have a first degree in product design and have recently freelanced as a branding consultant and designer. I excel in idea generation and communication. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for what Wieden + Kennedy is doing and want, very much, to be a part of it.
Luke Forsythe”

The staffers looked out their window and there he was sitting in the rain. Two creatives met with him and yes! They might offer him a job. We like the addendum to their post, which was – “please don’t try this again.”

Meh. It’s a slow news day.
