High-Profile Client’ Puts Brand in the Hands of WTF.

wtf-ass.jpg

This morning we got a press release announcing the launch of a riotously ironic! ad agency called WTF & Associates, spearheaded by president/CEO John Bristol.

Bristol says the objective is “to revolutionize art and culture.” His team is purportedly also “putting the finishing touches on an ingenious multi-platform campaign” for a high-profile client.

Natch, we made a noise along the lines of “WTF…?”, then visited the site, aptly hosted at wtfass.tv.

Click on the doors to watch some dementedly-cheery talking heads (in the style of this TD Bank Theatre campaign) make bullshit agency talk. And if you’re patient enough, you may hear the actual pitch for said “high-profile client.”

Clueless as to who? Find out below the drop.

The site is actually a call for entries for The AICP Show’s , The Art & Technique of the American Commercial. It debuts at MoMA. And no, you get no cookie for having to check.

Not sure which agency actually produced the site, but we’re 60% certain they’ll email us to chest-bump and whatnot. UPDATE: Work by the students of VCU Brandcenter. See? That didn’t take long.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
