Yes, you read that right. Porn site Pornhub has launched its Creative Director Challenge, a competition soliciting high-quality, “safe-for-work” designs for an upcoming multimedia advertising campaign. The winner of the challenge will be rewarded with a one-year paid employment contract as the official Creative Director of Pornhub.
Interested parties should check out the challenge site (a totally safe-for-work Tumblr site)
And there a full-on creative brief for you to review as well:
The creative brief
Traditionally, porn has been a taboo subject – but the fact is, over 35 million people visit Pornhub.com everyday! How do we reach the next 35 million? We need a national advertising campaign that can be channeled through mainstream media. We need to spread the word that porn has something for everyone, and Pornhub should be your go-to site for free videos whenever and wherever you want.
Why is this a challenge? As opposed to internet advertising, where you can show some nudity and people will click, conveying our message through mainstream media will be challenging. We need to promote Pornhub through a G-rated ad campaign without risk of offending, while still being a bit cheeky and fun.
The winning ad campaign will need to take these concerns into consideration, while clearly promoting the Pornhub brand and logo. Download the Pornhub branding assets package.
