Aspiring creatives dreaming about an advertising career in London (realizing they don’t have the required experience and qualifications) now have the opportunity to give their career a kick-start via eBay. It’s Craig Kind, a recent graduate from The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, who’s auctioning a starter kit for lazy careerists with their hearts set on Adland.
Included in the kit are:
- A portfolio of eight integrated campaigns
- Eight awards
- Phone numbers to London’s twelve most influential creative directors
- Tickets for RSA’s party in Cannes
The opening bid is GBP 50 and the proceeds will go to NSPCC, a British charity against child abuse.
Clearly, Mr. Kind is of the opinion that the end justifies the means.

What about selling some creatives on ebay? Do you think that would work as well?

How’s about selling creative ideas? A significant number of creatives as very good at ‘recycling’ campaigns for other briefs that never got through.

Would they fetch any money worth talking about Rob?
How about planners?
Northern: That would almost be like buying a campaign like you buy stock shots, wouldn’t it? All you do is smack you logo on it. Basically. How’re things on your end by the way?

Not so bad thanks. I’ve had some fun doing a joint pitch with half of Europe – have you read ‘E’ by Matt Beaumont? The cultural misunderstandings? Like that.
Scarilly, they’ve put me in charge of planning internships, weep for the future!

I know you’re busy and all but could you not squeeze in another post? Even one celebrating Sweden would do. As long as it’s short.
