Crispin Porter + Bogusky leiloa seus estagiários no eBay

Vou repetir o título: A Crispin Porter + Bogusky está leiloando estagiários no eBay.

A agência diz que eles já criaram para os melhores clientes do mundo, como Burger King, Volkswagen, Guitar Hero (Activision) e Microsoft, e vão oferecer ao vencedor do leilão uma apresentação criativa completa após os três meses de estágio.

Os lances começaram em 1 dólar, e o valor atual está na casa dos US$ 4250,00.

A CP+B se reserva o direito de negar a “compra” de concorrentes. Ou seja, não adianta empresas como McDonald’s ou Apple darem um lance. Segundo a agência, é a sua chance de ter os melhores estagiários que se pode ter, pagando uma fração do que valem.

Se considerarmos o mercado brasileiro, podemos dizer que um estagiário nunca ganhou tanto na vida. E já avisam, não entregam, só aceitam retirada no local.

Imagine Twitter as a Brand-Controlled Resource


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Even the big-time marketers that actually understand Twitter remain wary of its raw and freewheeling nature.
