BlakLabs’ “Spot ten mistakes” Job Ad

Spot ten mistakes in this ad and
and get a job!

Our heartiest congratulations on graduating. You are now officially qualified to embark on a career in the creative industry.

We trust you have what it takes to succeed: fresh ideas, killer design skills, a keen eye for detail.

All of which we will put to the test right n0w.

Scrutinise this ad and see if you can identify the mistakes hidden within.

Then send in your answers, along with a few pieces of your best work, to [email protected]

The last time someone held a similar challenge, they promised a $500 reward.

(That’s actually a load of old Balls.)

We prefer to put the job where our mouth is and offer you a 12—week placement with Singapore’s fastest-growing independent agency.

Make no mistake.. Only the sharpest gets the job. 🏁

A self-aware challenge ad. Generates interest & qualifies candidates at the same time.

You glance at your watch.

It’s 6:28. You’ve been at it since 3.
Crap. Your hot date is at 7. Running late. Sink shower it is.
Nowhere close to done editing…

“…at least all the ideas are laid out, so there’s that. Did I miss anything? I don’t think so? Ok, but how do I make it flow? I need to get the final draft to Stacey for design asap, team cutoff is at noon Thursday…”

You’ve spent dinner completely distracted. Your date just took off. You go home exhausted, plod to your desk, and crack open the laptop.

Or… it could go like this:

5:41 — you’re out of the shower and lip-syncing.
6:17 — dressed to the nines and zenned out.
7:03 — the sunset glints off your aviators as you smile hello.
8:36 — it actually feels like you’re hitting it off. Not just hot, funny to boot.
Next morning, 10:27 — polished draft ready in your inbox.
10:31 — Stacey messages back, “thanks, looks good!”

The difference?

You had Copygloss handle it yesterday afternoon.
