Itโ€™s for any job, not just advertising jobs. This idea can work in a lot of industries, from a clothing store someone wants to work for to a big tech company. Itโ€™s fun.

And it looks pretty good on the box, tbh. Same with the person placeholder copy.

Sometimes i think we get too critical of the industry and are too hard on ourselves for navel gazing.

But not this time. Really bad work.

Isnโ€™t the โ€œresume in a pizzaโ€ thing twenty or thirty years old at this point?

like

Thereโ€™s a viral story of a recent grad working as a pizza deliverer and gave her resume & chatted with everyone she delivered to, eventually getting hired. This feels like stealing her creative idea, but much worse execution. If itโ€™s a multinationalโ€™s idea for anyone to use, then itโ€™s no longer showing off an individualโ€™s creativity and hutzpah.
Only available in NYC means itโ€™s not a genuine attempt to help, but callous awards bait. Iโ€™m also pretty doubtful these will lead to any hires, I wouldnโ€™t be swayed by receiving one of these. If all it took was getting your res into someoneโ€™s hands in a unique way, weโ€™d all be at our dream agencies.

Haha exactly. My first thought was, โ€œplease donโ€™t send me Pizza Hutโ€ฆโ€.

My problem is that they are well aware how many people are out of work right now. Especially with how many resumes they get daily. People are actually having to move to make ends meet. But hey just slap your resume on our pizza box so WE can win some awardsโ€ฆ

I think it's mostly aimed at people entering the job market, recent grads according to what I saw. It's a fun idea to help someone stand out and also get some news about PH. You all are taking it too seriously.

Awards bait. Made for us, not to actually help people or sell pizzas. Wish the industry spent more time making fun work that actually did what itโ€™s supposed to do. (Of course, weโ€™d need clients who allow it too)

I looked up Mischiefโ€™s zip code and they wonโ€™t deliver it there. But Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™m the 10,000th creative who thought to do that.

Iโ€™m in CA. Might take a while to get there.

Iโ€™ll have to bribe my NYC connects to deliver it.

When Pizza Hut tries to be like Dominos.

Hard no. Itโ€™s not unique and comes across as a quick fix approach. Tell me about my businesses, tell me about my clients, tell me why those are important to you. Effort will always outweigh gimmicks.
