This BIG AD GIG is a big charade. That's why nobody submitted vids to the contest. And the 4 entries that were submitted all have sucked. lol. No good creative wants to be part of crap. Bottom line. Were they hoping for some superstar creative to submit a video for a chance to be apart of some hack industry?<br /><br />Most AD people are masters at reinventing themselves and "are practiced at the art.....of deception."\ Alex Bogusky knows this all to well, the whole thing is just microsoft self promotion. Look who the damn judges are. Saatchi wellness? Ogilvy? <br /><br />Whats worse is, people that run the contest have been creating fake twitter accounts to promote this and people still aren't submitting videos. <br /><br />When this thing fails, will hear some cooked up fake excuse as to why the big AD gig never took off the ground. I know its a recession but people still have their dignity. <br /><br />After all these years,The powers that be still don't have a clue on how to recruit great talent?

Why not just allow people to submit a portfolio. Judge them based on that alone.<br /><br />3. This is not a opportunity of a lifetime. It just strokes the egos of alex bogusky and company. The days of people worshiping the ground so called "big creatives" walk on are over. The industry is in a freefall. You tell me this is the best way to attract "real talent". lol<br /><br />4. Degrading yourself and saying "I deserve a Big Ad Gig." is as lame as it gets. Which moron would do this in public. lol<br /><br />5. The ad industry is full of hacks fakes and frauds. The industry does not deserve real talent. These judges need to get over themselves. \\seriously.<br /><br /><br />6. This whole contest reaks of college frat boy humor. The funny part about it is only 6 entries have been entered. LOL!!<br /><br />7.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. --hahahahahahaa whoever thought of this thing is a moron. <br /><br />9. No wonder why this industry cant attract any diversity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
