Here is something a little fun for the weekend, it’s called The Twitter Job Hustle experiment, a clever campaign concocted by Bas van de Poel and Daan van Dam in an attempt to score a new job at a leading advertising agency. The pair make up the creative team known as Wonder Years, and here is their attempt to get noticed on twitter…

The first thing you’ll probably think of, is the Jeep Twitter Puzzle campaign… While the core technological thought might be the same, just on the new twitter interface, the execution was quite a different and innovative way to get noticed by creative directors, with Wonder Years scoring a great gig with Boondoggle in Amsterdam… So what do you think of this kind of tactic?!

Help us share the digital goodness!
