Who wants half my salary?

1364957 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:04:01 GMT

Half a salary for free? There must be a catch and yes there is. Get me a permanent job as either a Group Head or Creative Director in London and I will pay you half my monthly salary for two months. To keep things interesting, I will not work for less than £60k per year. I don’t mind if you push one of your directors out of the window. I don’t care if you threaten to take your multi million account elsewhere and yes, sucking up to the board to get me the position is allowed. No matter who you are this is your chance to make sure you have the funds to spend next summer on a tropical island. To help you get started, please find some work samples and my cv on www.halfmysalary.com. Oh, and there’s another catch. The money I’m talking about is half my net monthly income. Yes I know... I should have been an account handler. But don’t let that stop you… Good luck! Timo

Wasn't sure about Aviva's ad series with Paul Whitehouse as a goth and the one as a silver surfer. But loving the new one as a hairdresser. What do others think?

Agencies cull grad intake in recession

2646379 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 08:20:37 GMT

Campaign is reporting today that the number of graduates being hired by Britain's agencies is expected to drop by more than half this year. The industry normally takes on between 500 and 600 college-leavers a year. However, the IPA predicts that figures for 2009 will be around 250.

Is the industry making a huge mistake?

Norwich Union rebrand

2064934 — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:00:48 GMT

Has NU knocked the stuffing out of its brand, by rebranding Aviva, so it is now devoid of character and certainly gained no greater personality for the brand by throwing money at what was only ever meant to be a holding company name. (Or was it?) There's a lot to be said for latent warmth for a brand. Baby and bath water come to mind. But then I do have a 5 month old!

For a creative within the advertising industry are DESIGN SKILLS a necessity or an added bonus?

2419340 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:53:44 GMT

Are design skills needed for a creative, or will a stick man sketch do? Does this differ from larger agencies to smaller agencies? Has the credit crunch effected this?

ATL, BTL, confused about the line!

2343952 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 18:18:41 GMT

I'm trying to get my head around ATL and BTL advertising. I know Above the Line is media which has a mass audience (TV, Print, Radio) and Below the Line is more direct and used when the target is limited and specific (Direct Mail, Sales Promotions). Newspaper ads are considered ATL and a rebate/coupon would be BTL. But what about a newspaper ad that has a rebate on it?? Where does that fall? I would like to know how to phrase/categorize things, for example graphics that go on the side of trucks? What resources are out there to find out more about ad lingo? Thanks!

Brands are looking more and more at Live Brand Experiences as it is the leading platform to connect directly with consumers

1914250 — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:54:50 GMT

Over the next few years brands will up their marketing spend on experiential marketing due to the mass audiences declining to respond to TV advertising. Digital is always on the rise due to new technology, digital plays a significant role in the live brand experience as it amplifies further channels which will gain maximum reach for campaigns. What are your thoughts about the above integration and what the future holds? Marvin

Advertising - How do you get into it and any other info would help!

2308664 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:56:24 GMT

Hi everyone,

having studied Graphic Design as a degree at Salford Uni (hated my last year, had awful tutors - you'll know who I mean if you did that course!) and focusing on Advertising in the last year, I have always wanted to get into it.

I managed to get a design job after a year from graduating (I got a 2:2, 0.5 mark off 2:1 which they didn't give me - but that's another story), doing Corporate design work and have so for over 3 years nearly. It has been great to do it, learnt a lot but I now feel it's time to pursue Advertising next year.

So what I ask is if anyone could help me out in any way with advice please. Preferably any advertising agencies in Greater Manchester, what unique thing they did to get the job e.g sent a birthday cake to the boss of the company, interview techniques etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in adavnce :)
