Agency Offers $100K Salary, New Car For New Business

Fans attending this weekend’s NCAA Championship will be greeted on the downtown streets by a flame-adorned, vintage Cadillac limousine ejecting bright orange ping-pong balls emblazoned with the Web address www.zipatoni.com/yourehired. It’s all part of a promotion launched by St. Louis-based marketing agency Zipatoni to get its next big client over the Final Four weekend.

The “You’re Hired” promotion promises fans and passersby “100K, an open bar and the company car” to refer the agency to a legitimate, high revenue producing client. The agency is prepared to give one diligent, industrious, well-connected participant $100,000 and a “Night of Zipatoni Entertainment,” which includes a happy hour at the office bar and use of the Zipatoni limo. Zipatoni’s headquarters are located just a block away from the Edward Jones Dome, where the NCAA Final Four will take place.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas
