A great social recruiting campaign was launched on 28 March by Ogilvy on their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/ogilvy. They are looking for the Worlds Greatest Salesperson. The task is to make a video, selling a red brick and if they think you’re the best you can win a trip to Cannes, a three-month paid fellowship — and immortality. Funny and very professional executed as it comes with 6 supporting videos (see below), a media pack (music, photos and badges) and a six page briefing document. Perhaps a bit over the top is the 8400 words (13 pages!), also in 5 different languages, that are used to explain the official rules.

The ‘Sell Or Else‘ campaign is also supported by other social platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn group and Twitter) and 6 great ads:
