INTERNS WANTED @ H DEGREE, CHD
We’re looking for a smart brain and talented pair of hands. Before you get excited or jump onto the long strings of glee – albeit momentarily – we’ll help you settle down from the sudden high. If you think working in an advertising agency is going to be a lot of fun i.e. you’ll get to work with BIG clients, and conduct bikini shoots for the Kingfisher calendar, and drink and smoke freely, and get to laze around all day long – watching movies, and have Pamela Anderson give you a back rub, and get the opportunity to occasionally appear on Jay Leno, and have Sharukh Khan dance to your jingles, and spend days in Goa for awards (the ones that are almost impossible to score), and with the slightest of chance, drive the bosses 5 Series BMW – well, in that case, you’re in for a quick and short prick up the cerebral ladder. To be honest, the work is fun only for persistent and passionate individuals – who can work incessantly without cribbing about the weather or how their mom doesn’t bake chocolate chip cookies. Yes, you will get the opportunity to participate in the creative process along-with its various offshoots. Did we mention that our office will have all the ingredients to prepare Peanut Butter and Oreo shakes? Where were we? Oh, yes. Here we are. You’re role in the agency would be similar to that of Brad Pitt from Ocean’s Eleven. Ok, honestly now, see what we do to get an idea of where you’re headed. You’ll get a chance to develop marketing strategies and fuel brand innovations. Manage and contribute to our blog and twitter community, etc. And for the applicants that are still with us in this wordy advert, and who are – a tad – insane or cracked will need to show us their work portfolio i.e. artworks, copy skills, web readiness etc. And if you have already got some experience working in a prison-cum-advertising agency, kindly mention it in the application form for brownie points (these points will help you bypass the grueling militaristic exercise). Individuals need to bring energy, enthusiasm and curiosity along with a healthy disrespect for common marketing beliefs. With curiosity and relentless, you should be interested in building modern brands from scratch. Being creative and analytical at the same time requires guts. Lots of it. And if you’re not self-motivated, you’ll end up in the pantry, working your days preparing Oreo shakes. Finally, all candidates must possess exceptional desktop research skills, be skilled in presentation design and should be suckers for challenges. If you’ve reached this far, you’re already half way there. Now, simply go to our ‘What’s On Your Mind‘ page and in the ‘Topic of Discussion’ tab, write: I want to kiss my social life goodbye. Fill in the rest, add links to your website, blog, twitter and facebook page (or) simply collect all the JPGs of your work into an Zip file and send them as goodies. All the best!
