Cool: Video Prodco Moves, Blows Up Old Office


By Matt Van Hoven on Oct 02, 2009 02:08 PM
Explosions are cool. When you combine them with spare time and a

GET A BIG AD GIG

Need a job? Here's one idea:


As our example video shows, you need to film a YouTube video

where you declare these words in a public space: "I deserve a Big Ad Gig."


Whether you choose The Mall of America or your local petting zoo, the important thing is to make your declaration loudly and proudly to the general public: since they're going to be the ultimate judges of everything you create in Advertising, it's only fair that they be the first group to evaluate your work.

Along with the quality of your portfolio, your creativity will determine whether you've got what it takes to make it to the second round. The golden rule: don't submit anything that you wouldn't want a client to see or hear.

ratty "writing shorts" do not count.)

We're living in the YouTube generation, where not only are you consuming video at massive rates, but also uploading boat loads of it. However, only a select few of these videos ever go viral and achieve Internet meme status.

The top YouTube videos of all time are basically just a mix of celebrity music videos, movie trailers, and cultural phenomena (like Susan Boyle).
But, we're also noticing that more and more brands are able to use the
Web as a platform, in lieu of (or in conjunction with) more traditional
media outlets, to disperse their ad campaigns and reach large audiences.
