By now you have all heard of the Cornelius Trunchpole saga, the faux ad man who, according to other industry luminaries, including Lee Clow, basically invented advertising. A recent video case study sums up the effort explaining a bit more behind the campaign.
And Mr. Trunchpole himself tells us that Trunchpole & Trunchpole is now open for business. Real business.
When we asked Mr. Trunchpole via Facebook when he would open the doors, he responded, “When we feel we have the most suitable client with which to do so. Trunchpole & Trunchpole can afford to be choosy. The brand must fit our brand, if you will.”
He added, “If you know any marketing directors of super premium heritage brands (think Rolls Royce, Glenfiddich, that sort of thing), do let me know.”
So if any of you premium brands out there are interested in having the Trunchpole & Trunchpole wizardry put to work for you, do reach out to the man. He appears eager to get back to work.
And just to show his sincerity, Mr. Trunchpole ended our conversation saying, “I, Cornelius Trunchpole, will hire anyone who can bring with them a client befitting of the Trunchpole name.”
