Well done on a big creative business idea.

Nice idea.

I'm guessing both are art directors?

Under 'idea' section – "...direct IT'S profits towards..." hmmm.

It's the little things that make a difference. A good idea like this should be supported by good copy. Anyway, bring on the 'how can you be so petty and pick up on such small things, when it's all about the genius idea' comments.

Need to have the full package, that's all.

Test their mettle.

Give them a real-world, commercial brief.

No disrespect.

Creative and all.

But get them to show their brilliance with soap or insurance.

Yeah, that's a pretty flash idea.

Mr. Confused said:

So, you get a courier to deliver your stuff in your city. The money you pay goes to a charity in Africa that couriers much needed supplies around. I get that. But who pays for the actual courier driver in the city you're in? Do they volunteer their time, their bike, their petrol, their insurance etc. Not being a smart arse, would just someone to explain to me how the idea works in an economically viable way... Maybe I misread the entry?
Either way, good on everyone for entering and giving it a crack!

They are just starting out. They win an award and some lame blogger says "But get them to show their brilliance with soap or insurance".

I'm sure you'll soon see them producing brilliance. Oh and by the way, go fuck yourself.

Confused, I'd say it would be the profits from the courier company?

Big Thursday?

they don't need to. when you work in advertising, the cool thing is you can chose what agency you work for and what accounts you work on.

if you're not keen to do soap ads and you want to do ads for charities or sport brands or beer companies, find the place that does those and apply for a job there. it's a simple process

but thinking that working on crap accounts somehow makes you better is plain dumb. when people look at your mediocre ad for a soap they still only see a mediocre ad. no one gives a shit about how you "suffered" to make it. no one cares that for its shit category it may be good, they just think it is shit.

so the idea is that profits from a company finances a similar service is a poor country..... isn't that just the same as giving a cash donations?

Um, 4:48...what happens if the account you selected your new employer by suddenly goes elsewhere? Move with it I suppose? That'd look good.
