As someone who’s just landed a dream job at Essential Research, I have to give a hand to a dude who’s used possibly the most outlandishly intelligent way of getting through to the shielded Mad Men in their ivory towers to land himself a dream job at Y&R.

Guy wants a job in advertising on Maddison Avenue, puts an advert on Google Adwords with the names of the top creatives in the header so when they Googled themselves they got his message. As Polly Becker on WallBlog noted:

Boy did it work! All but one of the ad agencies he targeted called him back and Ian Reichenthal and Scott Vitrone at Young & Rubicam offered him a job.

He should probably stick to copywriting though, as his video editing almost sent me to sleep. Soft transitions should be used with extreme caution!
