I'm always amazed at these types of advertisements, from supposedly professional marketers.

They're advertising for talent, but their ads are so antiseptic, impersonal and bland, it makes you wonder, if their posts are some sort of sick joke.

No name... No introduction... No personality... No nothing.

Just boring as hell.

Why don't they get a direct response copywriter to right their Direct Response ads?

Wait...this is why they are advertising here -- they are in need of a few good men (or women)...

It's funny. They wouldn't hire Clayton Makepeace because he doesn't meet their requirements.

But there's the problem. Once you join their forces, you become like them. It's like getting bit by an infected zombie.

Let's all apply

We'll send them compelling 15 page applications that begin Hi ArcWW (no, better yet, we'll send a secret operative to find out who's really behind the post.) Isn't Deb the master research go-to?

For those of us who don't have a Bachelor's, Subtle (master of disguise and design) will provide us with the right credentials, because your past performance doesn't amount to foot powder with these well educated dancers.

We'll make them feel like they have no choice but to hire ALL of us.

That's when we take over.

Eric,

I was laughing so hard at your post that I almost shyt myself!!!

HAHHAHAAH LMAO!

I guess the poster did not realize that a college degree is not required to write good copy...Just DR experience or the gumption to study and hone this beautiful craft...

Wow... im just downright stunned.

lol, some of the best copywriters in the world dont have college degrees. I couldnt imagine the nightmares of working for a company who cant even write a decent ad for copywriters.

Eric, that post was so friggin funny I almost pissed myself laughing

omigawd! What kind of English is this!

I'm guessing they didn't do their homework. There's a lot of talented copywriters who never went to college or never bothered to finish.

To quote business philosopher Brian Tracy, "Half of the college graduates are working for someone who never finished high school."

Most of the talented copywriters I know couldn't afford to take that kind of pay cut to go work for an agency.

If they mentioned they were responsible for some of the heinous Burger King commercials, I would have fallen on the floor laughing.

"Who Else Wants To Make Really Bad Commercials That Make No Sense?"

Now in all fairness, their website did say that they did some work for Cadillac.

I don't know if you saw the latest Cadillac commercial, but it really is a masterpiece. As a matter of fact, I saw it the other night and remember commenting to my wife that it was so powerful.

It's the one where the woman walks through the office and all the men see her and straighten up like they would for a really mean boss. You have to see it to appreciate it, but there's not a marketer here that could deny they hit the successful women's market right on the head.
