The Next Big Cattle Call, aka, The Big Ad Gig

YOU COULD WORK AT… (insert dream shop). So it’s come to begging. Forget Twitter RFPs, stand back and watch as thousands compete for just four paid 30-day long creative gigs at major agencies. Just have your resume and portfolio ready along with a YouTube clip (below). Oh, and the clip has to be you humiliating yourself in public saying the words “I deserve a Big Ad Gig.”

Their logic: “Whether you choose The Mall of America or your local petting zoo, the important thing is to make your declaration loudly and proudly to the general public: since they’re going to be the ultimate judges of everything you create in Advertising, it’s only fair that they be the first group to evaluate your work.” (Because the public is always right there with you at 1:00 am when you’re coming up with concepts.)

Ennnnyway, the winners of Apprentice Knockoff 2 will be announced Sept. 24th during next month’s Ad Week 2009. For more details, check out the rules here.
