Ogilvy have launched this fantastic campaign for themselves that doubles as a recruitment drive and social competition. It’s called the Search For The Worlds Greatest Salesperson, and it’s running exclusively on their YouTube channel.
All you have to do is sell a brick. Yep, the top few people who can upload the best video of how to sell a plain old brick will win a trip to Cannes to pitch live to the global advertising crowd, and get a paid 3 month fellowship at Ogilvy!
Part of what I love about this campaign for themselves, is that Ogilvy didn’t do it by halves, they’ve shot about 6 fantastic ads, all hilarious.

this campaign is hilarious … but probably make things difficult for client servicing guys if viewed by the clients as Ogilvy has captured almost every trick in the book!!!

The ever escalating war for the best talent. We have been searching for a senior interactive designer for some time now but have still not found the right candidate. Getting the right talent is not easy even in a time of global economic crisis.

The competition looks great fun, but not too sure about the prize….
