Team One Internship Application Video Tops reddit

Today in news we missed due to our compulsive blogging, Jake Kirk is a senior at Northern Arizona University who wants to intern for Team One in LA.

In order to apply for said internship, he had to make a video — so he chose to create this entry in the amateur action film genre:

He shared the clip on reddit, where it quickly went viral…and earned him an interview with Team One.

Is this guy ready to make car commercials, or what?

McDonald's asks Ex Cops to play SXSW for free. Ex Cops smack them down.

Ex Cops are a pretty awesome band. McDonald’s asked them to play SXSW for free. You know. For the exposure. McDonalds. Who has made bazillions, by selling bazillions of food, and is sponsoring SXSW, doesn’t have money to pay the band. My retort would have been, “If a global fast food company already knows who we are, we don’t need the exposure.”

Instead, they wrote this long

RKCR/Y&R Promotes ‘Mother’s Day Flowers’ for M&S

Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R keeps it simple in its new spot for Marks & Spencer, including the title of the ad, “Mother’s Day Flowers.”

The agency lets the flowers do the talking, with a montage of roses, ranunculus, and orchids set to music, following the opening text of “This Mother’s Day.” It’s a continuation of RKCR/Y&R’s “Adventures In” campaign tailored to the holiday. Well-shot and edited, the 20-second spot features a convincing display of “expertly chosen, top quality fresh flowers.” The spot launches on national broadcast in the UK on Tuesday, March 10, almost two months ahead of the holiday (ensuring the brand preempts its competitors).

“We’re really excited to take the Adventures campaign to the next level by showcasing our beautiful bouquets for the first time on TV this Mother’s Day,” said Nathan Ansell, head of brand and marketing: Food, Plan A, M&S Energy, in a statement. “The stunning creative really highlights the quality of our flowers and we’re confident of record breaking sales as a result.”

These Ads Are Impossible To Skip, They’re Already Over

Snuggie Settles With New York State for Misleading Marketing


A marketing company known for its Snuggie infomercials settled state and federal claims that it stuck consumers with hidden charges that almost doubled the cost of the product, a blanket with sleeves, a New York official said.

The company lured consumers with attractive “buy one, get one free” offers but didn’t adequately disclose that additional fees and handling charges almost erased the promise of the “free” item, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said. Through confusing ordering processes, consumers sometimes were sold additional items which they didn’t intend to buy, Schneiderman said.

Allstar Marketing Group, which also sells the Perfect Brownie Pan and Magic Mesh screen, agreed to pay $8 million to settle Federal Trade Commission and New York state probes, Mr. Schneiderman said. The company also agreed to change the ordering process and make it clearer, he said.

Marketers Not Thrilled to See Ads Running Before ISIS YouTube Vids


We recently wrote about the State Department informally reaching out to marketers to help in the ongoing communication battle with the Islamic State (aka ISIS, aka ISIL).

But marketers might have a different ISIS fight on their hands, thanks to YouTube. According to CNNMoney, pre-roll ads from companies including Procter & Gamble (Swiffer), Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light) and Johnson & Johnson (Aveeno) have run before video ISIS propaganda videos and jihad-themed videos.

It’s almost impossible to know how many companies’ ads have run before videos like this, but at least two companies were unhappy with the content pairing.
