Just when we were having fun celebrating the holidays with agency Christmas cards, gleefully reveling in their witty cuteisms, we had to receive this disaster from Wunderman. When receiving and viewing holiday wishes, it shouldn’t be a chore, a job, an effort that requires anything more than a chuckle and a smirk. But that’s exactly what Wunderman did with their holiday card. They created work and frustration. First, the Flashturbation took forever to load. Second…get this….you have to enter your email address just to view the thing! Come on. A holiday card should be a warm and friendly greeting, not a hard “we want your contact info” new business tactic. Not only do you have to enter your email, you have to eneter it every friggin time you visit the site! Has Wunderman never heard of a cookie?
We’re not done yet. After getting through the card’s unnecessary gateway, you’d think you’d be ready for a warm holiday welcome. No. It’s friggin game. You have to choose a character, give it a nickname and then screw around with keys on your keyboard to make your character skate. And that’s not all. There’s a chat feature where, apparently, you can chat with…um…yourself. This card is so bad we have to invent a Worst Agency Holiday Card Award just for Wunderman. Congrats, Wunderman. Stick this on your trophy wall.
